About a month ago I went to the Cheesecake Factory and ordered their Roasted Pear and Blue Cheese Flatbread (from the Skinnylicious Menu) and it was so so so good! I KNEW I just HAD to make my own version at home.
So, we made them for dinner the other night and I LOVED them!! They were pretty easy to throw together too. However, I must say that the flatbread I used as the crust was not my favorite. It was still very good, but I’m going to keep searching until I find just the right one.
Oh, I’m sorry I didn’t measure out some of the ingredients. You can just add more or less to your liking. Anyway, here’s how I made it.
(My Version) of Cheesecake Factory’s Roasted Pear and Blue Cheese Flatbread
(makes 2 individual flatbreads)
2 Flat Breads (or crust of your choice!)
Olive Oil
Garlic Salt
1 Pear (I used Bosc); thinly sliced
1 Onion; thinly sliced
Pecan Halves
Feta Cheese (you could also use Gorgonzola or Blue Cheese)
Arugula
I used these flat breads…
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Prepare all ingredients…
- Thinly slice the onion and saute in a little olive oil.

All done! These smelled SO GOOD! Sauteed onions are my fav!!
- Lay the flat bread on a pizza pan or cookie sheet.
- Lightly spray (or brush) with olive oil and then sprinkle lightly with garlic salt.
- Top with onions, feta, pears, and pecans
- Sprinkle a little more garlic salt on top (I’m sure you could experiment with more sophisticated spices as well, lol.)
- Bake on lowest rack in oven for 8-10 minutes.
- Move to top rack and bake for 2-3 minutes more.
When it comes out of the oven, top with arugula and enjoy!
Note: Arugula was a little hard to find. I found mine at the local grocery store in the produce section with the fresh herbs.
Oh and I made pepperoni pizzas for the kids! They LOVED them so much! They really really loved having their own little pizza.
This was a great, easy, yummy dinner. I’m sure this will become a staple in our home.
xoxo!
