1.

Whisk the eggs with sour cream and whipping cream, season with salt, pepper and a pinch of nutmeg. Crumble the Gorgonzola into small cubes, mash with a fork and fold into the egg mixture.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface to slightly larger than the baking sheet, line the greased sheet and lift a rim. Spread the egg‑cheese mixture evenly over the dough, arrange the pear slices fan‑shaped on top and bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes until golden brown. Remove, let cool slightly and serve cut into pieces.
