Pear, Gorgonzola and Honey Crostini




Let me just say....these crostini's are heavenly. So simple and such a perfect combination of flavors. These crostini's hardly made it out of the oven, as they were gone in a matter of minutes. Anything with gorgonzola cheese is a treat for me. I love this as an appetizer, snack or dessert. It is the perfect sweet-meets-salty crisp. And, your tastebuds will thank you. Mine did.

Ingredients:
  • 1/2 of a french baguette, sliced into 1/4 inch slices
  • olive oil
  • 1 pear, thinly sliced
  • gorgonzola cheese, thinly sliced into 1 and a 1/2 inch rectangular slices
  • honey

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Place baguette slices on baking sheet. Drizzle each slice with olive oil on both sides. Toast in oven for 2 minutes.
  3. Carefully remove from oven. Layer each crostini with 1 pear slice and 1 gorgonzola cheese slice. Toast for another 2 to 3 minutes, or until cheese starts to melt.
  4. Remove from oven and drizzle each crostini with honey. Serve immediately.
Enjoy!
