Tis the Season to Indulge...

It's that time of year again, the time when we gather around the table with family and friends to indulge in copious amounts of food, drink and laughter.

Although I am no chef, I definitely enjoy trying.

Without a doubt, my gorgonzola pear H' orderves are always a hit and never last more than 20 minutes at any given get-together.

Trust me, after you make these delicious delicacies, you’re credibility (and party invites) will increase!

Bon appetit!  

Honey, Pear and Gorgonzola Crostini
14-16 slices multi-grain French bread
1 large pear, thinly sliced
3 oz. gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
½ tsp. red pepper flakes
2 Tbl. honey
2 Tbl. olive oil

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.  Brush each side of the bread with olive oil and evenly space on a sheet pan.  Toast in the oven for 1 – 2 minutes.  Layer each slice with gorgonzola cheese and 1 – 2 pear slices.  Toast for an additional 2 – 3 minutes, or until the cheese has softened.  Drizzle each with honey and sprinkle with red pepper flakes before serving.
