Description

French bread topped with Gorgonzola cheese, sliced pears and walnut pieces makes an elegant appetizer without a lot of work.

Ingredients

1 French baguette, sliced into 1/4 inch rounds
1/4 cup olive oil or melted butter
2 pears - peeled, cored and sliced
8 ounces crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
1 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2 Arrange the baguette slices in a single layer on a baking sheet. Brush the top of each one with olive oil or melted butter. Place a slice of pear onto each piece of bread, then crumble some of the cheese over the top. Sprinkle with walnuts.
3 Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the pears are browned and the cheese has started to melt.
