Blue Cheese Pizza


This idea came from a pizza we had at Bill's Pizza in Palm Springs; there's is called 'Blue Moon'.  If you are ever in Palm Springs and want good pizza, this is the place to go.

If you like blue cheese, you'll love this.  The sliced apples are a nice complement to the caramelized onions and the blue cheese.  Pears are also a nice substitution for the apples (as long as they aren't too juicy).  This recipe makes one 12" pizza.

Pizza crust (see Scott's Pizza for options)
olive oil
1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese (adjust amount to taste) 
1/2 an apple, cored and sliced into thin pieces
1/2 cup caramelized onions
1/4 cup chopped walnuts


Prepare the crust, pre-bake for 5 minutes at 400° for a crisper crust.  Brush olive oil generously onto the crust.  Evenly sprinkle the mozzarella cheese onto the crust, then the blue cheese.   Distribute the apples, then the onions, then the walnuts on the pizza.  Bake at 400° until the crust is brown on the bottom.
