PEAR, PROSCIUTTO AND BLEU CHEESE BRUSCHETTA



Pear, Prosciutto and Bleu Cheese Bruschetta image

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.

Adapted from a Weber recipe. The combination of sweet pear, creamy/tangy cheeses, and salty prosciutto is a great balance of flavors.

Categories     Cheese

Time 25m

Yield 20 pieces, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 ripe pears, such as Bosc, about 3/4 pound total
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
extra-virgin olive oil
1 baguette, cut into 20 slices
4 thin slices prosciutto
1 cup ricotta cheese
1/3 cup crumbled Stilton cheese
3 tablespoons honey

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.
