PEAR, PROSCIUTTO AND BLEU CHEESE BRUSCHETTA



Pear, Prosciutto and Bleu Cheese Bruschetta image

This is a really good simple appetizer. Great flavors and very easy to make. Room temp, quick and it travels well. A perfect fall appetizer or nice side to a roasted salad for dinner. This makes around 30 or so slices of baguettes so you can cut this in half if you want. I find that I can't make enough of these.

1 Tablespoons + 3 Tablespoon olive oil, divided

1/3 cup diced red onion
1 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 Tablespoon chopped fresh thyme

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to Broil. In a small bowl, mix pear, onion, 1 Tablespoon olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and thyme. Set aside to marinate for 5 minutes. While Pears are marinating, lay baguettes slices on a cookie sheet. Using a pastry brush, brush the tops of each with olive oil (about 3 Tablespoons total) Heat bruschetta slices in oven for 3 - 5 minutes. WATCH CAREFULLY as your baguette may burn. You want a slightly golden top. DO NOT OVER COOK. (Your oven will cook different than mine so watch close, cooking times are estimates.) Remove from oven. Sprinkle each with crumbled blue cheese and allow blue cheese to slowly warm and melt. While Baguette slices are still warm but not burning hot, Spread blue cheese onto each slice. Spoon pear mixture onto the blue cheese. Top with sliced prosciutto. Serve Immediately.
