Ingredients

4 oz. goat cheese, crumbled (about 1 cup)
7 oz. ricotta cheese (about 3/4 cup)
2 oz. Parmesan cheese, shredded (about 1/2 cup)
1 tsp. fresh thyme
3 Tbsp. olive oil
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
2 Tbsp. cornmeal
1 lb. prepared pizza dough, at room temperature
1 small pear, quartered, cored, and thinly sliced
1 oz. thinly sliced prosciutto
2 cups baby arugula

Directions

1. Step 1Preheat oven to 450°F. Combine goat cheese, ricotta, Parmesan, and thyme in a bowl. Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, swirling frequently, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
