This is a really good simple appetizer. Great flavors and very easy to make. Room temp, quick and it travels well. A perfect fall appetizer or nice side to a roasted salad for dinner. This makes around 30 or so slices of baguettes so you can cut this in half if you want. I find that I can't make enough of these. Ingredients:
1 baguette, cut into 30 slices (toasted) |
2 medium bartlett pears, cored and chopped fairly fine |
1/4 cup red onion, chopped fine |
2/3 cup crumbled gorgonzola |
1/3 cup butter (unsalted) |
1/4 lb prosciutto (cut into 30 pieces) |
1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped fine |
Directions:
1. Butter - Mix the gorgonzola cheese and butter and set to the side, room temperature.
2. 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.
3. Baguettes - Then as the pears marinate, in a 400 degree oven toast the baguette slices on each side until golden brown.
4. 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.
