Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 F.

Place baguette slices on a nonstick or ungreased baking sheet. Toast until lightly golden, about 10 minutes. Remove and set aside.

Preheat the broiler.

Spread each toast with a thin layer of Gorgonzola.

Slice pears and arrange on the toasts. Return to the baking sheet.

Place the baking sheet under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes, just long enough to melt the cheese and warm the pears.

Sprinkle with pepper to taste.
