Pear, Walnut & Blue Cheese Puff Pastry Pizza
Puff pastry pizzas make a fabulous dinner or party appetizer, and it's very low maintenance to make. The puff pastry makes such a flaky and buttery crust. Although you could do a variety of toppings (I think a caprese version with cherry tomatoes and basil would be perfect in the summer), this particular variety is perfect for the holiday season, topped with pears, walnuts, and blue cheese. Dustin worried this wouldn't be savory enough for dinner, but he quickly ate his words (and lots of the puff pastry pizza).
We used one sheet of puff pastry and cut it in half to make individual flatbreads, but you could easily cut into different sizes and even double the recipe since puff pastry usually comes two pieces to a box.
