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.

Time 40m

Yield 30 Individual bruschetta, 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

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

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.
