Pear and Goat Cheese Naan Pizza with Honey

This easy naan pizza balances honey-glazed pears and shallots with creamy fontina, tangy goat cheese, and fresh thyme. Serve the two flatbreads as a simple fall meal or slice them into smaller pieces for a warm appetizer.

Makes: 2 main-dish servings or 8 to 10 appetizer pieces

Honeyed Pear Topping

• 2 tablespoons butter, divided
• 1 very firm pear, cored and thinly sliced
• 2 shallots, peeled and thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Naan Pizza Ingredients

• 1 (8.8-ounce) package naan, containing 2 pieces
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 cup shredded fontina cheese
• 1/3 cup crumbled goat cheese
• 3 to 4 fresh thyme sprigs
• 2 tablespoons honey, plus more for serving
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt, optional

How to Make Pear Naan Pizza

1. Cook the pears and shallots. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the pear, shallots, thyme leaves, 3 tablespoons honey, lemon juice, sea salt, and pepper. Cook for about 8 minutes, until the pear is tender and the liquid has reduced to a glaze. Remove from the heat and cool slightly.
2. Toast the naan. Lightly brush both naan pieces with olive oil and place them on a sheet pan. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, turning halfway through.
3. Add the fontina. Divide half of the fontina between the naan pieces. Bake for about 6 minutes, until the cheese begins to melt.
4. Add the toppings. Divide the pear-shallot mixture over the naan, then top with the remaining fontina and all of the goat cheese.
5. Finish baking. Return to the oven for 6 to 8 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the toppings are hot.
6. Serve. Finish with fresh thyme leaves, a light drizzle of honey, and optional kosher salt. Slice and serve warm.

Tips and Easy Swaps

• Choose a firm pear so the slices hold their shape while cooking.
• Substitute a crisp apple when pears are out of season.
• Watch the naan during its first bake so the edges stay crisp without becoming too dark.
• For appetizer servings, cut each finished flatbread into four or five pieces.
