Ingredients
2 store-bought flatbreads or naan
1 tablespoon (15 mL) olive oil

1 cup (25 g) arugula
2 tablespoons (30 mL) balsamic glaze
Salt and black pepper, to taste

2. Arrange pear slices evenly over flatbreads, then sprinkle with Gorgonzola and walnuts.
3. Bake for 8–10 minutes, until cheese is melted and flatbread edges are golden brown.
4. Remove from oven and top with fresh arugula.
5. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and season lightly with salt and pepper.

Notes
Use Bosc or Bartlett pears for the best texture.
Toast walnuts lightly to enhance their flavor.
Add arugula and balsamic glaze just before serving to maintain freshness and presentation.
