Honey-Pear Gorgonzola Bruschetta

This is more of "chick" appetizer but if you've got the girls over to watch college gameday or for drinks or something you might as well treat them to something yummy! :) This was a HUGE hit at a Wives' Coffee I hosted here at Ft. Bragg.

Honey-Pear-Gorgonzola Bruschetta

1. Preheat oven to 450
2. Slice french baguette into thin slices
3. Arrange slices of bread on cookie sheet
4. Drizzle slices of bread with olive oil
5. Toast in oven about 5 minutes or until just barely golden
6. Dice up about 2 pears
7. Caramelize diced pears in a skillet with some olive oil, fresh chopped rosemary, 1/2 cup walnut pieces, & 1/4 cup honey
8. Toss pear mixture together with about a cup (less if you don't want it as strong) gorgonzola cheese
9. Place about 1-2 tablespoons pear-gorgonzola mixture on top toasted bread slices
10. Re-toast bruschetta with the topping about 5 more minutes or until bruschetta is golden & topping is ooey-gooey-goodness.
11. Enjoy! :)
    

P.S. If you "need" to add meat to this to make it more "manly" you could always add some prosciutto or plain old yummy bacon. And really, how could you go wrong with bacon? :)
