Pizza with fresh Rosemary, Caramelized Onions, Gorgonzola Cheese, Pears and Walnuts


1 – 2 teaspoons Olive oil
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, minced
1 cup caramelized onions
1/3 - ½ cup Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese, or more if desired
½ pear or apple, peeled and sliced very thinly
¼ cup walnuts, roughly chopped

Garnish:
Italian parsley, chopped

Preheat oven to 475 degrees.  I like to layer the flavors, so I started by using my fingers and rubbing the pizza crust with the Olive oil and finely minced rosemary. Then sprinkle the crust with the onions, Gorgonzola cheese, mozzarella cheese, the sliced pear or apples and lastly the walnuts.  Bake for about 8 - 10 minutes. Garnish with the parsley and serve with a drizzle of the rosemary steeped honey. 

Topping:
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, minced

Mix honey and rosemary together in creamer or small pitcher and heat in the microwave until very warm. Or you can do this on the stovetop and then pour it into a small pitcher.
