This prosciutto and pear flatbread hits that perfect balance of salty, sweet, and creamy. With thin slices of pear, salty prosciutto, melty cheese, and a drizzle of honey or balsamic, it’s the kind of appetizer that feels just a little fancy without any extra work. Serve it warm and sliced for an easy, crowd-pleasing bite.

The sweetness of the pears really adds a new level of depth to this pizza. Even if you don’t like pineapple on pizza, I beg you to try it with pears. Paired with the crisp arugula and caramelized onions is a perfect match and it makes for a new favorite pizza flavor.

Helpful Tips

You can use any type of pear that you want. Bartlett pears or Asian pears are great because of they’re slightly crisp and not overly sweet.
I always splash the pear slices with lemon juice to keep them from getting brown from oxidation.
I use crumbled blue cheese on this pizza. If you want to substitute with gorgonzola or stilton, that’s cool too.
