Nectarine, Gorgonzola, Basil & Pine Nut Pizza

Total Time: 1 hr Preparation Time: 30 mins Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• 1 pizza dough
• 5 nectarines
• olive oil
• 1 cup gorgonzola (crumbled)
• 1/2 cup pine nuts
• 10 basil leaves (slivered)
• 2 tablespoons honey

Recipe

• 1 make your favorite pizza dough and spread out on pizza stone or pan. preheat oven to 500 degrees (or if using ready made crust like i mentioned above follow temperature instructions for that crust).
• 2 slice nectarines thin and brush with olive oil. grill them on medium for about 10 minutes until nicely cooked (i use a grill wok to hold them while grilling so they don't fall through the grate - you could just cut them in half and grill directly on the grate then after cooling slice them). grill time is just an estimate, watch them closely for desired doneness.
• 3 arrange nectarines on the pizza crust.
• 4 top nectarines with crumbled gorgonzola cheese.
• 5 toast pine nuts in a small skillet over medium heat. shake the pan every 30 seconds until browned and remove immediately from pan. once cooled, sprinkle over gorgonzola cheese.
• 6 drizzle honey over the pizza. (can skip honey if desired, it is already sweet from the fruit).
• 7 bake for 15 minutes or until pizza crust is desired done-ness.
• 8 arrange slivered basil all over pizza.
• 9 allow pizza to cool slightly, slice & serve.
• 10 serves 8 as an appetizer or 2-4 as pizza main dish.
