Peach & Gorgonzola Cheese Pizza_Taste of Summer


Ontario Peaches; hubby swears they are the best in the world!  A good peach is both sweet & juicy; simply luscious! My dad loved peaches too; would bring home a basket every week and we would devour them!  Their season is so short; we’re talking approx. a 2 week period every summer!

Tried this dish because it uses 2 of hubby’s favourite foods:  Peaches and Gorgonzola Cheese!   mmmm… does this dish deliver!  So filling; truly 2 pieces is enough to satisfy but you can go for a 3rd guilt free!  

What seems like seconds to prepare; at only 384 cal per serving (2 pcs); definitely a healthy dish to enjoy with friends over a glass of white wine on an absolutely gorgeous summer day; like today!  


Peach and Gorgonzola Pizza
1 (10-ounce) prebaked thin pizza crust
Cooking spray
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided
1 cup shredded cooked chicken breast
1/3 cup (about 1 1/2 ounces) crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
1 medium unpeeled peach, thinly sliced, skin on
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar

Preparation
Preheat oven to 400°.
Place pizza crust on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Brush 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil evenly over crust. Top evenly with 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, chicken, Gorgonzola cheese, and peach slices. Top with remaining 1/4 cup mozzarella.
Bake at 400° for 11 minutes or until crust browns.

Place vinegar in a small saucepan over medium-high heat; cook until reduced to 2 tablespoons (about 5 minutes). Drizzle balsamic reduction evenly over pizza. Cut pizza into 8 wedges.

Yield: 4 servings
