Create elegant Blue Cheese Pear Crostini, a simple appetizer perfect for sharing. This recipe balances savory blue cheese tang with sweet pear brightness on crisp bread.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 baguette, sliced into 1/2 inch thick rounds
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large firm pear (such as Bosc or Anjou), thinly sliced
  • 4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Brush both sides of the baguette slices lightly with olive oil.
  3. Arrange the slices on a baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crisp. Remove from the oven.
  5. Top each crostini with a few slices of pear.
  6. Sprinkle the crumbled blue cheese evenly over the pears.
  7. Return the crostini to the oven and bake for 3 to 5 minutes, just until the cheese softens slightly.
  8. Remove from the oven. Drizzle honey over the warm crostini.
  9. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves before serving.

Notes

  • Choose a blue cheese that suits your preference, such as Gorgonzola for milder flavor or Roquefort for a sharper taste.
  • If your pear slices are very thin, layering two per crostini works well.
  • You can toast the bread ahead of time and assemble just before serving.
