Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 pear, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup frozen chopped onions
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 slices pumpernickel bread, toasted, each slice cut into quarters
- 1 cup crumbled blue cheese
- 1/4 cup white chocolate shavings
Directions
Preheat the broiler on low.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the butter. When the butter has melted, add the pear slices, onions, lemon juice, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook until the pears are warmed through and are soft but not falling apart, about 5 minutes.
Place the toast squares on a baking sheet. Lay a few slices of pears in a single layer on each toast square. Top each with the crumbled blue cheese. Place under the broiler until the cheese begins to melt, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a platter, garnish each with a sprinkle of the white chocolate shavings, and serve immediately.

this recipe is so good, we keep making it again and again. sometimes we use shallots instead of onion...we haven't used pumpernickel yet, we tend to get baguette or something with herbs and spices...and we toast it (sometimes with garlic butter, before we put the pear and cheese on. we think these alterations to the recipe make it even better!

Absolutely fantastic. Served this at our annual Chocolate Dinner Party and it was a hit. Will make it again!
