Overhead shot of Blue Cheese Peach Pizza with Honey

There are combinations that might feel a bit over-done but I will always (and gladly) eat. One of those combinations: blue cheese and peaches. Fresh, sweet peaches paired with the earthy flavor of blue cheese is everything I could want in one bite. Add it to pizza and drizzle it with honey; I'll probably eat the whole thing.

variations

Grilled Cheese: I'm so in love with the peach/blue cheese/honey flavor that sometimes when I make myself lunch, I'll add this combination to a grilled cheese sandwich. It's such a perfect slightly sweet/slightly savory lunch.

Pears: This time of year is great for stone fruit but it's also pear season! Swap the slices of peaches for pears.

Cheese: I know blue cheese isn't for everyone. Try goat cheese or you could do mozzarella only on this peach pizza.

Blue Cheese Peach Pizza with Honey

4 servings

Prep Time: 10

Cook Time: 20

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 clove garlic (sliced in half lengthwise)
1 store-bought or homemade pizza dough
1 large (just-ripe peach)
6 ounces mozzarella cheese
1 to 2 ounces blue cheese
1 to 2 tablespoons honey (for serving)
2 to 3 tablespoons julienned basil (for serving)
Chili Flakes or Pickled Jalapenos

Heat your oven to 475˚F with a pizza stone. Heat olive oil in a small skillet. Add the garlic and fry until the garlic is golden. Remove from heat and let rest until ready to use. Before using, remove garlic.
Prepare the pizza topping. Thinly slice the peaches and grate the mozzarella cheese.
On a good non-stick surface (like a pizza peel sprinkled with cornmeal), stretch and roll the dough into a circle roughly 12 to 14” in size. Spread the garlic-infused olive oil over the pizza dough then layer with the thinly sliced peaches, grated mozzarella cheese, and crumbled blue cheese.
Transfer the pizza to a pizza stone and bake until the cheese has melted and the crust is golden.
Remove the pizza from the oven and drizzle with honey and sprinkle with julienned basil.

I'm a good old Georgia peach girl and I have never had peaches with blue cheese! What an amazing thought! I would have never thought to put these together. I am definitely putting this combo on my list to try! Thanks so much for this great idea~
