STEP 1

Heat a large saucepan over medium heat and add the olive oil.

STEP 2

Add onions and cook for approximately 15 minutes or until onions are nicely caramelized.

STEP 3

Place flatbread on baking sheets. Lightly spray with olive oil.

STEP 4

Sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon basil, 2 tablespoons mozzarella cheese, 1/4 cup caramelized onion and top with five tomato slices.

STEP 5

Dot each with 3 tablespoons of goat cheese and bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes or until dough is crispy and cheese is melted.

STEP 6

Cut each flatbread into eight pieces and serve on a 10-inch plate garnished with 1 tablespoon fresh basil.

Adding pears to a pizza may seem unusual, but the fruit’s sweetness pairs wonderfully with the salty ham. Avoid overloading the delicate mochi crust.
