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
Directions
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.

I liked the taste of this dish but next time would put some lemon on the pears right after cooking. They turned brown and looked awful- I tried to cover them up with the proscuitto but couldn't totally. I ended up throwing half of the pears away and using apples (with lemon on them this time. I also found that it required much more than 3 small pears to have the proper ratio of fruit to cheese.

I offered this as a savory side of a dessert party. Everyone loved it. I will say with a 10" tart pan I felt I needed to double the cheese filling to create enough volume.
