2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary leaves or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons dried sherry wine
1 medium bosc pear
1 pre-cooked 12-inch pizza crust (yours or something like Boboli)

1
Trim off and discard the root ends and the dark green portion of the leeks.

Melt the butter in a heavy saute pan and add the leeks, rosemary, and salt.

Saute, stirring occasionally, until tender and nicely browned, about 6 to 8 minutes. Add the sherry and stir until the liquid dissolves.
8
Slice the pear in half lengthwise and cut out the core section.
9
Slice each half thinly and gently toss the slices with the lemon juice.
10
Transfer the leeks to the pizza crust and spread them out evenly, leaving about a 1-inch border all around the outside free of topping.
11
Arrange the sliced pears in a single layer on top of the leeks.
12
Evenly distribute the blue cheese over the pears.
13
Sprinkle on the paprika.
14
Bake the pizza 4 inches from the broiler until the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
