Yield: 25 spears
Cuisine: american
Ingredients: 3 tablespoons butter; 2 tablespoons sugar; 2 pears, peeled and diced; 2 cloves garlic, chopped; 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar; 1 teaspoon salt; 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper; 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil; 1/2 cup Stilton cheese, crumbled (or any other blue cheese); 25 endive spears; 1/2 cup pecan halves or 25 pieces, toasted; Watercress sprigs, for garnish; 1 cup cream cheese (for presentation)

Directions

In a large saute pan, over medium heat, add the butter and sugar. Add the diced pears and cook until well caramelized, approximately 8 minutes.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the garlic, red wine vinegar, salt, fresh ground pepper and olive oil. Add the mixture to the Stilton. Assemble the spears 1 by 1, starting with the cheese then the sauteed pear and topping them off with a toasted pecan. These can be garnished with a sprig of watercress or other herb, if desired. Arrange the spears on a plate by first making a small mound of cream cheese and then sticking each spear into the cream cheese in a floral, 3-dimensional pattern.
