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.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe but firm pears: Slightly underripe pears will hold their shape better when grilled.
  • Use a good quality prosciutto: Look for prosciutto that is thinly sliced and not too salty.
  • Don't overcrowd the grill: Cook the pears and prosciutto in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the grill and ensure even cooking.
  • Watch the pears closely: Pears can burn easily, so keep an eye on them while they are grilling.
  • Let the bruschetta cool slightly before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and the cheese to set.

Conclusion:

This pear, prosciutto, and blue cheese bruschetta is a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet pears, salty prosciutto, and tangy blue cheese is sure to please everyone. Plus, it's a great way to use up leftover pears. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
