Blue Cheese And Pear Bruschetta Recipes

Steps:

• Cut pears into a small dice, and place in a small bowl.
• Sprinkle pears with lemon juice and toss. Add the parsley, blue cheese, and oil and toss gently and thoroughly.
• Season to taste with freshly ground black pepper. Set aside.
• Preheat the broiler. Arrange bread slices in a single layer on a baking sheet and toast under the broiler until lightly browned and crisp, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
• Spread each toast round with a teaspoon of mascarpone. Top with a generous tablespoon of the diced pear mixture, mounding it up high and pressing it firmly.
• Finish each one with a sprinkling of walnuts and serve.

Steps:

• Put the pears in a bowl and drizzle with 1 tsp of the oil. Heat a griddle pan, then cook the pears, in batches, for 1 min on each side. Set aside to cool.
• Mix the remaining oil, vinegar and honey. Toss the pears, leaves and cheese, divide between 4 plates and drizzle with the dressing. Serve with bread, if you like.

Steps:

• Butter -- Mix the gorgonzola cheese and butter and set to the side, room temperature.
• Pears -- Mix the pears, red onion, balsamic, olive oil and thyme and toss well in a small bowl. Let it hang out 15-20 minutes.
• Baguettes -- Then as the pears marinate, in a 400 degree oven toast the baguette slices on each side until golden brown.
• Put them all Together -- After the baguettes come out of the oven, spread with the blue cheese butter, top with a thin slice of the proscuitto and top with the pear and onion mixture.
