Cooking Steps
Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce.
Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add onion, ½ tsp sugar (1 tsp for 4), and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and browned, 8-10 minutes.
In the last minute of cooking, add 1 TBSP water (2 TBSP for 4) and stir until onion is jammy. Turn off heat; transfer to a plate. Wipe out pan.
Meanwhile, halve, core, and thinly slice pear. Roughly chop walnuts.
Place flatbreads on a baking sheet and bake on top rack until lightly toasted, 5-7 minutes. (For 4 servings, divide between two baking sheets; toast on top and middle racks, swapping rack positions halfway through toasting.)
While flatbreads toast, heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for onion over medium-high heat. Add pear and cook until softened and slightly browned, 2-3 minutes per side.
In a large bowl, toss arugula with half the balsamic glaze. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Remove flatbreads from oven and set broiler to high.
Carefully top flatbreads with blue cheese dressing, onion, Italian cheese blend, pear, walnuts, and as many chili flakes as you like.
Return to top rack and broil until cheese is melted, 2-3 minutes (for 4 servings, broil in batches).
Drizzle flatbreads with as much remaining balsamic glaze as you like. Top with salad and cut into pieces.
Divide between plates and serve.

Review summary
Updated on Dec 2025- Flavor: Many loved the unique combination of pear, blue cheese, and balsamic, though some found it bland or funky.
- Ease of prep: Several customers reported burning issues; consider reducing broil time or temperature for better results.
- Suggestions: Try adding honey for sweetness 🍯, or swap blue cheese dressing for crumbles to enhance flavor and reduce moisture.
- Portions: Some felt it was light for a main meal; consider adding a protein component or doubling up on toppings.
- Texture: A few found the flatbread too chewy; experiment with different cooking methods for a crispier base.
Reviews from our home cooks
I'm not a big fan of flatbread meals because they are difficult to eat, so if I try this again I will convert it to a nice salad with plain baked flatbread on the side. Often I wish there were an option when ordering to double the amount of greens. My flatbread burned a bit under the broiler; if done again I would just bake until cheese melted or broil at lower temp.
Super simple and easy and quick to make. The flavors go surprisingly well together.
I've gotten a couple different of your flat bread meals and they've been delicious but I wish that the flatbread wasn't quite so chewy. I understand that it might be difficult to make it more like an actual pizza crust because they're pre-made but if something could be done about that that would be awesome
I'm still on WeightWatchers, so I eat a 1/2 serving at a time. Because I dressed the salad when I made the recipe, the 2nd-4th servings were wilted, but I ate them anyway. Lol. Soggy, but yummy.
Excellent combination of textures, color and flavo. The meal was on the light side. Had to add a protein component for a main meal.
Crumbled Bleu cheese would have taken this over the top, but otherwise this was really very good 👍
Loved the mix of cheeses and the balsamic sweet and tart sauce on the veggies.
Would have liked more basalmic glaze for the salad. I had to add my own.
Needed more onion (our was tiny) and not enough sauce for the base. But good potential.
This was really good, but two minutes under the broiler was too long. The crusts were like burnt to a crisp. But the middle was great.
