- 12 inches pre-made prepared pizza crust (or 4 individual pies)

- 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
- 1⁄4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon dry vermouth

- Slice pear into 1/4" slices, removing core. Toss with lemon juice. Grill either with a grill pan heated over high heat sprayed with cooking spray, or on a gas grill. Grill 2-3 minutes each side. Remove from heat.
- Spread a thin layer of olive oil on prepared crust. Spread cooked leeks on crust to within 1" of edge. Layer grilled pears on top, and sprinkle blue cheese as the final layer. Place under broiler for 5-6 minutes, until cheese and crust have started to brown. Serve immediately.
