Provided by Anne Burrell

Time 35m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Olive oil, for brushing and drizzling
15 ounces pizza dough, store-bought or favorite homemade recipe
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1 red Anjou pear, core removed and sliced 1/8-inch-thick
10 ounces fontina cheese, sliced 1/4-inch-thick
1 handful arugula
1/2 lemon, juiced
Kosher salt
Crushed red pepper flakes
8 ounces prosciutto, sliced thinly
1 1/2 tablespoons truffle honey

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and brush with olive oil.
  • Meanwhile, roll out the pizza dough 1/4- to 1/2-inch-thick on a lightly floured surface into the desired shape; for a flatbread I like an elongated oval to fit my grill pan. Place the dough on the grill pan and cook until crusty grill marks appear, about 3 minutes. Flip and grill the other side.
  • Top the grilled side with a brushing of olive oil, the sliced pears and fontina cheese, arranging everything in a flat even layer. When the crust is heated through and not doughy, and grill marks appear, remove the flatbread to a sheet pan and place in the oven. Bake until the cheese is melted and the pears are heated through, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, add the arugula to a medium bowl, then drizzle with the lemon juice and some olive oil to lightly coat . Season with a small pinch of salt and the crushed red pepper. Remove the pizza from the oven and top with the prosciutto, then the dressed greens. Drizzle with the truffle honey. Slice and serve! Salty-sweet! Yum!

GRILLED PEAR AND PROSCIUTTO STARTER



Grilled Pear and Prosciutto Starter image

This simple, elegant appetizer has an amazing combination of sweet, salty, tart and fresh flavors. Replace the mint with any type of herb that you like. Oregano is quite nice. For an even quicker version, use canned pears. Simply drain them and heat them up in the microwave until just warm, then proceed to step 4.

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 pears, any variety
4 slices prosciutto
4 slices fresh parmesan cheese
4 sprigs mint
4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Peel, halve, and core the pears.
  • Grill the pears on medium heat, turning once, until they are heated through and have nice grill marks on both sides. 5-7 minutes.
  • Alternately, you can sauté the pears in a little butter or apple juice to heat them through and soften them up a bit.
  • Place one pear half on each plate.
  • Top each pear half with a slice of prosciutto, followed by a slice of parmesan (use a potato peeler to get a nice, thin slice), and then a mint leaf.
  • Drizzle a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar around each pear half.
  • Season with salt and pepper if desired.
