Pear Stilton 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:

• Preheat oven to Broil. In a small bowl, mix pear, onion, 1 Tablespoon olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and thyme. Set aside to marinate for 5 minutes. While Pears are marinating, lay baguettes slices on a cookie sheet. Using a pastry brush, brush the tops of each with olive oil (about 3 Tablespoons total) Heat bruschetta slices in oven for 3 - 5 minutes. WATCH CAREFULLY as your baguette may burn. You want a slightly golden top. DO NOT OVER COOK. (Your oven will cook different than mine so watch close, cooking times are estimates.) Remove from oven. Sprinkle each with crumbled blue cheese and allow blue cheese to slowly warm and melt. While Baguette slices are still warm but not burning hot, Spread blue cheese onto each slice. Spoon pear mixture onto the blue cheese. Top with sliced prosciutto. Serve Immediately.

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.
