Ingredients

• 1 flatbread or pre-baked pizza crust

• 1 ripe pear, thinly sliced

• 1/4 cup cranberry sauce or preserves

• 1/3 cup blue cheese, crumbled

• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• A pinch of black pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

2. Prepare the Base: Place your flatbread on the baking sheet. Brush the surface lightly with olive oil to help it crisp up.

3. Assemble: Arrange the thin pear slices evenly across the flatbread. Dollop small spoonfuls of the cranberry sauce over the pear slices. Sprinkle the crumbled blue cheese over the top.

4. Season: Scatter the fresh thyme leaves over the entire flatbread and add a light dusting of black pepper.

5. Bake: Place the flatbread in the oven and bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the blue cheese has softened nicely.

6. Serve: Remove from the oven, let it sit for a minute, then slice into rectangles. Serve warm as a beautiful appetizer or a light meal.
