This tart looks so tasty with the prosciutto sprinkling the top! I saw this being made on Everyday Italian, and knew I had to make it myself. Ingredients:
1 store bought pie shell |
4 ounces cream cheese |
2 ounces gorgonzola |
1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped |
1 pinch salt |
1 pinch fresh ground black pepper |
2 tablespoons butter |
3 small pears, cored and sliced |
2 ounces prosciutto, cut into thin strips |
Directions:
1. Bake the pie shell in a square or round tart pan according to package instructions.
2. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
3. Meanwhile, combine the cream cheese, Gorgonzola, thyme, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl.
4. Using a hand blender, whip the cheeses together.
5. In a large, heavy skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat.
6. Add the pears and cook until golden on both sides, about 5 minutes.
7. When the tart crust has cooled slightly, gently spread the whipped cheese mixture evenly over the bottom of the tart.
8. Place the pear slices in a decorative pattern over the cheese mixture.
9. Sprinkle the thin strips of prosciutto over the pears.
10. Cut into squares or wedges and serve.
