PEAR CROSTINI WITH BLUE CHEESE -TYLER FLORENCE



PEAR CROSTINI WITH BLUE CHEESE -TYLER FLORENCE image

Categories     Fruit     Dessert

Yield 1

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 pears, halved, cored, but not peeled
3 to 4 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons honey
4 ounces good-quality blue cheese, crumbled
1/2 cup slivered almonds
1 recipe Basic Pie Pastry, chilled 30 minutes, recipe follows
1 egg, beaten with a drizzle of cold water
2 tablespoons sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Arrange the pears, cut sides up, on a baking sheet and dot with butter. Put the baking sheet in the oven and bake 25 to 30 minutes, or until the pears are just tender. Let cool. Increase the oven heat to 450 degrees F. Sprinkle the counter and a rolling pin lightly with flour. Roll the dough out to a 14-inch round, about 1/4-inch thick. It doesn't have to be perfect. Transfer the dough to the back of a lightly floured baking sheet. Slice the pears and arrange them on the dough round by overlapping the slices in a spiral fashion, leaving a 2-inch border all around. Drizzle with the honey, scatter blue cheese over the top, and sprinkle with the almonds. Brush the border with the egg wash. Bring the edge of crust over onto the filling, leaving the fruit exposed in center. Gently fold and pinch the dough to seal any cracks. Brush the crust with the remaining egg wash and sprinkle with the sugar. Put the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the fruit is tender. Slide a knife under the crostata to loosen it from the pan. Then cut into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Make sure the baguette slices are toasted until golden brown and crispy. This will help them hold up to the toppings.
  • Use a variety of toppings to create different flavors and textures. Some good options include blue cheese, goat cheese, brie, prosciutto, arugula, and roasted red peppers.
  • If you're using a strong-flavored cheese, like blue cheese, use a light hand so that it doesn't overpower the other flavors.
  • Crostini are best served fresh, so make them just before you're ready to eat them.
  • You can also make crostini ahead of time and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Just rewarm them in a low oven before serving.

Conclusion:

Crostini are a delicious and easy appetizer that can be made with a variety of toppings. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, and picnics. Get creative and have fun with your crostini toppings, and you'll be sure to find a combination that everyone will love.
