Pear, Walnut and Gorgonzola Pizzas

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 large sweet onion, sliced
• 1 medium ripe pear, sliced
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
• 8 (4 inch)  whole wheat pita bread
• 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese, such as Gorgonzola
• 1/4 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 450°F.

2. 2

   Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until soft and golden, about 7 minutes. Stir in pear and cook, stirring often, until slightly soft and heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Add vinegar and pepper and continue cooking, stirring often, until the liquid has evaporated and the onion is tender and coated with a dark glaze, about 2 minutes more.

3. 3

   Divide the onion-pear mixture among the pitas; sprinkle with cheese and walnuts. Transfer the pitas to a large baking sheet and bake until crispy and the cheese is melted, 10 to 15 minutes.
