Pear And Stilton Bruschetta Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200°C.
• Place bread on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Bake for 10 mins turning halfway through. Leave to cool.
• Slice pears in half again and toss pears in lemon juice.
• Build the canapes by starting with a slice of bread then a slice of pear and top with the cheese.
• Put back in the oven for another 15 mins until stilton is browned and bubbly.
• Top with rocket and serve.
• As an optional extra walnuts can be added in step 4.

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:

• 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.
