Chevre, Pear, Balsamic & Smoked Salmon Pizza

Dan & I went over to a friend's house last sunday night for dinner, and they made a bunch of little homemade pizzas which were so delicious.  I was inspired to concoct my own fancy pizza with a few of my favorite ingredients.  Now I'm on a total pizza kick and I want to try tons of combos!

What you'll need:

Pizza crust

Olive Oil

Goat Cheese

Shredded Parmesan Cheese

Smoked Salmon

Pear slices

Balsamic Reduction

First, prepare your crust.  You can either buy a pre-made crust, or make your own at home.  Preheat the oven to 350º F (or whatever temp your pre-made crust says).  Pour a little bit of olive oil around on the dough and spread it.  Crumble the chevre and parmesan on the dough, add little chunks of smoked salmon, and then add a bit more parmesan.  Bake the pizza for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is browned a bit and your cheese is melted.  While your pizza is cooking, slice thin pieces of pear.  I used about 12, which is only about 1/3 of a large pear (though you should slice the rest and slather chevre on it with a drop or two of balsamic reduction as a delicious snack/appetizer.  It's soooo good!).

Once your pizza comes out of the oven, place the pear slices on it and drizzle balsamic reduction over the whole pizza.  Slice & devour!
