Pear, Pecan and Gorgonzola Crostini
Serves 8 to 10
8 to 10 baguette slices about ½ inch thick
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
¼ cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
1 ½ cups thinly sliced pear (about 2 medium)
4 tablespoons honey
½ cup chopped pecans, toasted (I used walnuts and it was delicious!)
1. Preheat oven to 350. Arrange baguette slices on a large baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven for 5 minutes or until lightly toasted.
2. Preheat broiler with rack 4 inches from heat. In a small bowl, combine cream cheese and Gorgonzola. Spread bread slices evenly with 1 tablespoon of the Gorgonzola mixture. Top with epar slices. Drizzle with honey and sprinkle with pecans.
Broil crostini for 1 to 2 minutes or until pears are tender and cheese is slightly melted. Serve immediately

Hey Lucy,
ReplyDeleteYour blog just popped up on my dashboard. Thought I'd drop by.(I admit to not tracking the numerous changes to Blogger of late... so I'm kinda exploring and behind the times.)
I also left word on your OS post this morning. Welcome back. Or forth? Whichever.
