1 12" pre-made pizza crust (or 4 individual pies)
4 leeks
2 tbsp butter
1 tsp italian seasoning
1/4 tsp sea salt
1 tbsp dry vermouth
1 bosc pear
1 tbsp lemon juice
4 oz blue cheese
Preheat broiler. Cut off roots and dark green leaves of leeks. Cut
leeks in half lengthwise and wash thoroughly to remove all grit.
Slice into 1/4" thick slices. Melt butter in a small saucepan. Add
leeks, italian seasoning, and salt, and cook leeks 6-8 minutes,
until tender. Add dry vermouth and cook, stirring constantly, until
vermouth has evaporated. Remove from heat.
Slice pear into 1/4" slices, removing core. Toss with lemon juice.
Grill either with a grill pan heated over high heat sprayed with
cooking spray, or on a gas grill. Grill 2-3 minutes each side.
Remove from heat.
Spread a thin layer of olive oil on prepared crust. Spread cooked
leeks on crust to within 1" of edge. Layer grilled pears on top, and
sprinkle blue cheese as the final layer. Place under broiler for 5-6
minutes, until cheese and crust have started to brown. Serve
immediately.
