Pear Gorgonzola Tart
Recipe courtesy Giada De Laurentiis

Ingredients
1 store bought pie shell
4 ounces cream cheese
2 ounces Gorgonzola
1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
Pinch salt
Pinch freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons butter
3 small pears, cored and sliced
2 ounces prosciutto, cut into thin strips

Instructions
Bake the pie shell in a square or round tart pan according to package
instructions. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.

Meanwhile, combine the cream cheese, Gorgonzola, thyme, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Using a

hand blender, whip the cheeses together.

In a large, heavy skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the pears and cook until
golden on both sides, about 5 minutes.

When the tart crust has cooled slightly, gently spread the whipped cheese mixture evenly over the
bottom of the tart. Place the pear slices in a decorative pattern over the cheese mixture. Sprinkle
the thin strips of prosciutto over the pears.

Cut into squares or wedges and serve.
