Pear Prosciutto Pizza

Good Friday! I hope you're all enjoying the wonderful produce that is in season this time of year. I love pears, and think they make great additions to dinner dishes, so I was happy when I found this Pizza recipe from Cooking Light Magazine.

I have one shortcut: I did not make the dough: I bought it at Winco, as they have the best dough for $1.29 a ball :) If you live in Portland, Hot Lips Pizza also sells their dough, which is marvelous.

Hope you enjoy this recipe, there were barely leftovers with this one.

Ingredients
1 1/2 cups of Gruyere cheese ( I preferred this one over goat cheese)
1 tbsp of flour
4 cups of baby spinach ( I buy the organic kind at Costco)
2 tsp chopped fresh thyme
2 tsp fresh lemon juice
2 roma tomatoes, sliced thinly
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
3 oz thinly sliced prosciutto, chopped
2 ripe Bartlett pears, cored and thinly sliced

Directions
Preheat oven to 450. Roll dough into a 14 inch circle on a floured surface. Brush dough with olive oil, and sprinkle the cheese. Place dough in a round stone, and bake for 13 minutes. In the meantime, mix other ingredients in a medium bowl.  Remove dough, place salad over the cheese, mix, and bake for additional 12 minutes.

I bought the prosciutto at Trader Joe's, which gave me a good excuse to buy a bottle of Pinot Grigio to go with this pizza. Each serving is at 393 calories, not counting the wine.

Enjoy,
