Just like Connie Converse, this dish is a bit unlikely but is a worth betting on. The delicious combination of the soft and sweet pears and the strong blue cheese with the crunch of the walnuts creates an unbeatable combination.
Don't forget to change the measurements to fit your party's needs!
Blue Cheese and Pear Crostini:
INGREDIENTS
1 baguette
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper
6 ounces blue cheese
2 pears sliced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup walnuts chopped
2-3 tablespoons honey
12 fresh sage leaves chopped
INSTRUCTIONS
Begin by slicing the baguette on the diagonal. Then, lay the slices in a single layer on a baking sheet. Brush them with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the baking sheet on the top rack of your oven and broil for 4-5 minutes until the bread is golden brown. Set aside to cool.
In a small bowl, toss the sliced pears with the lemon juice to prevent browning.
To assemble, layer the ingredients onto the toast, beginning with a pear slice. Follow that with a few crumbles of blue cheese and a sprinkle of walnuts. Finally, drizzle with honey and top with fresh sage.
