Pita rounds make quick pizza crusts. But topped with the classic combination of pears, walnuts and blue cheese, they're taken to elegant heights. These pizzas are great with a green salad for a quick supper; wedges can also be served up as cocktail-hour fare.

Ingredients

Serves:

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1 large sweet onion, sliced

1 medium ripe pear, sliced

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

4 6 1/2-inch or eight 4-inch whole-wheat pita breads

1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese, such as Gorgonzola

1/4 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 450°F.

2. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until soft and golden, about 7 minutes. Stir in pear and cook, stirring often, until slightly soft and heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Add vinegar and pepper and continue cooking, stirring often, until the liquid has evaporated and the onion is tender and coated with a dark glaze, about 2 minutes more.

3. Divide the onion-pear mixture among the pitas; sprinkle with cheese and walnuts. Transfer the pitas to a large baking sheet and bake until crispy and the cheese is melted, 10 to 15 minutes.

Great party food, sliced into quarters. The whole wheat pita crust complements the flavors of the carmelized vadalia onion, walnut, gorgonzola, and pear beautifully. Dont be shy with the peppper- it gives it needed zing!
