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.
