Instructions
Prepare roasted garlic. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a medium mixing bowl toss garlic cloves with olive oil and pepper to coat. Then place garlic into a 2' x 2' piece of aluminum foil; seal edges to form a loose pouch. Place on a baking sheet and in 375 degree oven. Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes or until garlic is nicely caramelized. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly.
In a sauce pan over medium heat, combine vinegar and honey simmer for 5 minutes. Add walnuts and pour on a sheet pan to cool.Peel, core, and dice pears into 1/4 inch cubes and set aside for next steps.
Cut flatbread into 1/3rds and evenly brush with garlic spread (1 tsp per slice). Sprinkle each slice with 1 Tbsp of the parmesan cheese.
Top each slice of flatbread as follows: Place 2 ounces (1/3 cup) diced pears, 1 ounce (1/4 cup) of the balsamic honey walnuts, 1 ounce of crumbled gorgonzola cheese. Bake in a 425F convection oven for 6-8 minutes until golden brown.
Spray flatbread with a fine mist of olive oil when removed from the oven before cutting. Cut each flatbread slice in half, then each half diagonally across and serve.
