What better way to kick off this new blog than with a simple recipe involving my all time favorite cheese. There are numerous types of blue cheese but my favorite is Saga Blue and boy was I happy when I found it crumbled in the cheese department yesterday at my local grocery store. If you can't find Sage Blue, most stores carry 4 oz containers of Gorgonzola or standard blue cheese.
I've wanted to try this pizza recipe for quite some time. I love the idea of the pungent blue cheese mixed with the mellowness of a Bosc pear and the smokiness of bacon. The sage was a last minute idea because I happen to love it AND I have enough of it growing out in my front yard for a lifetime. Also, since it was just me for lunch today and I wanted something a little lighter than pizza dough, I opted to build my pizza on a soft tortilla wrap and it was just the right personal size for me with one wedge leftover which I'm sure my husband will devour when he comes home from work later. The end result was a marvelous taste explosion for my taste buds.
