Ingredients
Pizza
- 1 prepared pizza base
- 2 tbsps tomato paste
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, grated
- 4-5 slices prosciutto (or cooked bacon)
- 3 Dried pears, chopped
- 3 tbsps goats cheese, crumbled ( gorgonzola or feta)
- 8-10 fresh rocket leaves
- 4-5 roasted walnuts, roughly chopped
- Black pepper and salt to taste
Balsamic Glaze
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
Directions
- Balsamic Glaze: In a small saucepan bring the balsamic vinegar and brown sugar to a simmer and turn down the heat and continue to stir occasionally until reduced to about half and thicker consistency. Take off the stovetop and let it cool down completely.
- Pizza: Preheat the oven to 200 C . Place a baking tray inside the oven to heat up as well.
- Spread the tomato paste evenly on the prepared pizza base then add the mozzarella cheese and prosciutto on top.
- Place on the preheated baking tray and bake in the oven for 5-8min until all the cheese has melted.
- Once out of the oven and still hot, crumble the goat’s cheese over the pizza. Then add the pieces of dried pear, rocket, walnuts, salt, and pepper.
- Drizzle with balsamic glaze before serving or serve on the side.
