Mt Tam, Pear and Garlic Confit Pizza

Local, organic triple cream cheese? Check. Perfectly ripe pears? Got it. Sweet, soft cloves of garlic? Toss ’em on. This indulgent gluten-free pizza is irresistible for fans of all of the above. Together — baked in a searingly hot oven atop a thin, homemade crust — pure magic happens. Back in November, I enjoyed this very combo at a local pizzeria, Pizza Antica. (Check out their gluten-free menu here!) After one bite, I knew that I needed to recreate it at home. With Valentine’s Day upon us — and a Whole Foods cheese sale the week prior — the time had come. I highly recommend using Cowgirl Creamery’s Mt Tam, but another triple cream cheese will surely do juuust fine. As for the garlic, trust that given the confit treatment it works mighty good with the cheese and pear — your house will smell divine and these pizzas will disappear in no time!
