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.
Tips:
- Select ripe but firm pears: Slightly underripe pears hold their shape better when grilled.
- Use high-quality prosciutto: Look for prosciutto that is thinly sliced and has a deep red color.
- Grill the pears until they are slightly charred: This will give them a smoky flavor.
- Assemble the bruschetta just before serving: This will prevent the bread from getting soggy.
- Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar: This will add a delicious finishing touch.
Conclusion:
Pear and prosciutto bruschetta is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet pears, salty prosciutto, and creamy cheese is irresistible. This recipe is sure to be a hit with your guests!
