1. What type of pears work best?

Use firm pears like Bosc, Anjou, or Bartlett. Softer pears may become mushy during baking.

2. Is this flatbread healthy?

Yes! Pears offer fiber and vitamin C. Gorgonzola is high in calcium. Use whole grain flatbread for extra nutrition.

3. Can I make this gluten-free?

Absolutely! Use a gluten-free flatbread or pizza crust.

4. Can I make this dairy-free?

Yes, just use dairy-free cheese alternatives. The flavor will be a little different but still tasty.

5. Can kids help make this?

Definitely! Kids can help spread cheese and arrange the pear slices. Just supervise the oven part.

6. Why pair pears with Gorgonzola?

The sweetness of the pear balances the strong, tangy flavor of the Gorgonzola. It’s a classic flavor combo.
