Pear And Prosciutto Bruschetta Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Place a rack in upper third of the oven and heat to 450 degrees F. Place 1 sage leaf on a pear slice and secure by wrapping 1 piece prosciutto like a "belt" around the pear. Repeat to make 24 pieces.
• Evenly space pears on a baking sheet and place in oven to cook until prosciutto is crisp and pears are slightly softened, about 15 minutes. Serve immediately. Pears can be assembled up to 2 hours ahead. Store covered in the refrigerator until ready to cook.
• Pears can also be served uncooked, if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler.
• Brush the bread on both sides generously with oil and place on a baking sheet. Broil until golden and crispy, 2 minutes per side.
• Remove, let cool slightly, and rub the garlic all over one side of each slice. Place a slice of cheese on each piece of bread, then top each with a slice of prosciutto. Return to the oven until the cheese is melted and golden, 2 minutes.
• Garnish with a basil leaf and serve.

Steps:

• Peel, quarter, and core the pears. Toss them with the lemon juice in a medium bowl, then lightly brush all sides of each piece with oil.
• Brush one side of each baguette slice with oil.
• Grill the pears on medium heat, with the lid closed as much as possible, turning occasionally, until crisp-tender, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from grill and cut each quarter into about eight slices.
• Grill the baguette slices and the prosciutto over direct medium heat with the lid open about 1 to 2 minutes, until the bread is lightly toasted on one side and the prosciutto is crisp. Remove from the grill and chop the prosciutto.
• Combine the cheeses in a small bowl, spread about 1 tablespoon of the mixture on the grilled side of each baguette slice. Place about 3 slices of pear on top of the cheese and top with some chopped grilled prosciutto, then drizzle with a small amount of honey.
