Reviews
This was a BIG hit. The flavors work so well together and it is so easy, no one will believe it. So…don’t tell them!
If only I could give this 6 stars! I made some of these for Christmas Eve with the family over – these were amazing! Thank you so much for the recipe!!! Easy and gourmet quality. I did spray the bread with butter flavor Pam ratheer than using olive oil or butter (trying to cut a few calories) and they came out delish!
Surprisingly non-descript, and I was so excited to try them, too. Maybe a touch of honey? I did use my oil-mister for the first time and the bread came out perfect, though. So, there will be bruschetta in the near future.
sliced french bread lengthwise, topped as directed and baked. it. was. amazing!
I used Naan (indian flat bread) instead of Fr. bread. Saute the pears with sweet yellow onion slices in butter until limp. Then arrange on the flat bread with gorganzola-infused brie and sugar glazed walnuts (or pecans/almonds, etc). Amazing, especially with a nice wine!
use butter the oil is too heavy of a flavor and changes the taste also though not as nice as the gorgonzola you can use any blue cheese (reg blues are a bit less costly)
I SERVED THESE AT A CHRISTMAS PARTY I WAS HOSTING, IT WAS 50/50 SOME LOVED THEM (INCLUDING MYSELF) SOME DID NOT THINK THEY WERE ALL THAT GREAT!I PERSONALLY THOUGHT THEY WERE DELISH
This is great! We have two pear trees in our backyard, always looking for new recipes.
I tried this recipe due to all the rave reviews. I made a bunch of appetizers for dinner as a trial run for our holiday party, and I’m glad I did. This recipe was very dissapointing.
Very Good. Brought to a party and everyone loved it. Rather unique, and perfect for the fall! Followed the directions exactly.
What a delish crostini! The flavors go together so well. Next time I’ll make the pear slices a little thicker- I absolutely love how the pear just melts in your mouth.
Surprisingly good but simple!
This was yumminess. Not outstanding, but good. Don’t use too much gorgonzola as it’s a pretty potent cheese and not everyone enjoys that! Otherwise, it’s an easy appetizer with good flavor.
This bread was good. I made the following changes: I used unmelted butter and then mixed the cheese along with 1TBSP of whiskey and the walnuts into a spread. I skipped toasting the bread, topped it with the pears then spread on cheese mixture. I baked these at 425 for 10 minutes. They came out perfect! I made them for a party and they were gone in less than 20 minutes.
wonderful on the pallet, pears and gorgonzola are heavenly togather
This was really good. We made it exactly as the recipe says and even the kids ate it.
Sharp cheese and sweet pears combine to create an amazing appetizer or side. And so simple!
