PEAR and BLUE CHEESE BRUSCHETTA

Thanks to a gift of a bag full of assorted pears, here is my recipe for

PEAR and BLUE CHEESE BRUSCHETTA

Ingredients:

1 Small Baguette, sliced 1/3" thick

1/2 C. Crumbled Blue Cheese

1 Firm, Ripe Pear of your Choice

Honey

Butter

*Optional:  Toasted Pecans

Directions:

• Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F.
• Toast your pecans in a skillet until lightly browned, set aside.
• Lightly toast your baguette slices, don't toast until hard!
• Slice your pear lengthwise into 1/8" thickness while your baguette slices are toasting and
• Saute the pear slices in some butter until nicely caramelized. (Keep an eye on those toasting baguette slices!)
• Spread the blue cheese on the toasted baguettes, top each with a warm slice of pear and top off with your toasted pecans*
• Drizzle with honey and serve. 

 I served this up with my Pear Champagne Martini (recipe at The Martini Diva Blog) which I made with my homemade Pear Sorbet!

I loved these so much that every time I get pears now I always buy extra so I can have bruschetta!

 

Buon Appetito
