- Yields:
-
20 pieces
- Serves:
- 6-8
ingredients
- 2 ripe pears, such as Bosc, about 3/4 pound total
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 baguette, cut into 20 slices
- 4 thin slices prosciutto
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1⁄3 cup crumbled Stilton cheese
- 3 tablespoons honey
directions
- Peel, quarter, and core the pears. Toss them with the lemon juice in a medium bowl, then lightly brush all sides of each piece with oil.
- Brush one side of each baguette slice with oil.
- Grill the pears on medium heat, with the lid closed as much as possible, turning occasionally, until crisp-tender, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from grill and cut each quarter into about eight slices.
- Grill the baguette slices and the prosciutto over direct medium heat with the lid open about 1 to 2 minutes, until the bread is lightly toasted on one side and the prosciutto is crisp. Remove from the grill and chop the prosciutto.
- Combine the cheeses in a small bowl, spread about 1 tablespoon of the mixture on the grilled side of each baguette slice. Place about 3 slices of pear on top of the cheese and top with some chopped grilled prosciutto, then drizzle with a small amount of honey.

<p>This site has gotten so horribly bad over the past couple of years, I have stopped using it to manage my recipes and have gone over to using another one, which I have been forbidden to mention on Food.com. It's no secret that there are competitors; send me a message if you are in the same boat and would like to know. For now, I only frequent a few of the forums and that's it. The Titanic has sailed!</p>
