Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 Tablespoons + 3 Tablespoon olive oil, divided
1 pear, cored and diced
1/3 cup diced red onion
1 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 Tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1 French baguette, sliced and toasted
1 (4 ounce) package crumbled blue cheese
1/3 pound sliced prosciutto, chopped into small pieces

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to Broil. In a small bowl, mix pear, onion, 1 Tablespoon olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and thyme. Set aside to marinate for 5 minutes. While Pears are marinating, lay baguettes slices on a cookie sheet. Using a pastry brush, brush the tops of each with olive oil (about 3 Tablespoons total) Heat bruschetta slices in oven for 3 - 5 minutes. WATCH CAREFULLY as your baguette may burn. You want a slightly golden top. DO NOT OVER COOK. (Your oven will cook different than mine so watch close, cooking times are estimates.) Remove from oven. Sprinkle each with crumbled blue cheese and allow blue cheese to slowly warm and melt. While Baguette slices are still warm but not burning hot, Spread blue cheese onto each slice. Spoon pear mixture onto the blue cheese. Top with sliced prosciutto. Serve Immediately.

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.

Provided by Anne Burrell

Time 35m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Olive oil, for brushing and drizzling
15 ounces pizza dough, store-bought or favorite homemade recipe
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1 red Anjou pear, core removed and sliced 1/8-inch-thick
10 ounces fontina cheese, sliced 1/4-inch-thick
1 handful arugula
1/2 lemon, juiced
Kosher salt
Crushed red pepper flakes
8 ounces prosciutto, sliced thinly
1 1/2 tablespoons truffle honey

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and brush with olive oil.
  • Meanwhile, roll out the pizza dough 1/4- to 1/2-inch-thick on a lightly floured surface into the desired shape; for a flatbread I like an elongated oval to fit my grill pan. Place the dough on the grill pan and cook until crusty grill marks appear, about 3 minutes. Flip and grill the other side.
  • Top the grilled side with a brushing of olive oil, the sliced pears and fontina cheese, arranging everything in a flat even layer. When the crust is heated through and not doughy, and grill marks appear, remove the flatbread to a sheet pan and place in the oven. Bake until the cheese is melted and the pears are heated through, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, add the arugula to a medium bowl, then drizzle with the lemon juice and some olive oil to lightly coat . Season with a small pinch of salt and the crushed red pepper. Remove the pizza from the oven and top with the prosciutto, then the dressed greens. Drizzle with the truffle honey. Slice and serve! Salty-sweet! Yum!
