Photo: Gorgonzola-Pear Toasts Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 baguette, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 8-ounce package cream cheese
- 4 ounces crumbled gorgonzola cheese
- 2 15-ounce cans sliced pears in juice, drained
- 1/2 cup candied pecans, chopped
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly brush 1 side of each baguette slice with olive oil. Place the slices on a baking sheet and toast 5 to 7 minutes, or just until beginning to brown. Let cool.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the cream cheese and gorgonzola cheese, stirring until well mixed. Spread the toasts with the cheese mixture. Top with the pear slices and chopped candied pecans. Sprinkle with the parsley.

I made this exactly as the recipe suggested and it was incredibly easy and simple to make! So quick - if you're looking for an appetizer on the run, this would work. Many people at the party enjoyed the baguette because the cheese has a nice bite and the pear and pecans added a sweet flavor. It really is yummy! I gave four stars because I will make it again, but I will use fresh pear next time!
