âMy sister-in-law gave me this great recipe, which includes two of my favorite ingredientsâblue cheese and pears. Yum!â writes Kate Hilts of Grand Rapids, Michigan. TIP: âInstead of a loaf of French bread, I usually buy a baguette and cut it at an angle to give the slices a nice look,â Kate adds. Ingredients:
4 ounces cream cheese, softened |
3 tablespoons butter, softened |
1 cup (4 ounces) crumbled blue cheese |
1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts, toasted |
15 slices french bread (1/2 inch thick), lightly toasted |
1 medium ripe pear |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Stir in the blue cheese and walnuts. Spread evenly over toasted bread. 2. Place on a baking sheet. Broil 3-4 in. from the heat for 3-4 minutes or until cheese is bubbly. Core pear and cut into 30 thin slices. Place two pear slices on each crostini. Serve warm. Yield: 15 appetizers. |
