Cheese Toast With Pears Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly brush 1 side of each baguette slice with olive oil. Place the slices on a baking sheet and toast 5 to 7 minutes, or just until beginning to brown. Let cool.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the cream cheese and gorgonzola cheese, stirring until well mixed. Spread the toasts with the cheese mixture. Top with the pear slices and chopped candied pecans. Sprinkle with the parsley.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, combine cheese and heavy cream. Using a fork or wooden spoon, combine until mixture is soft enough to spread but not too runny; set aside.
• Cut bread in half crosswise, making fingers that are about 3 by 1 1/2 inches. Transfer bread fingers to a baking sheet; toast in oven until light golden on each side, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from oven.
• Spread 1 heaping teaspoon cheese mixture on each bread finger. Top with a pear slice; garnish with pecan slices. Serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• Peel and core the pear, and cut into thin slices. Slice the cheese thinly. Toast the bread lightly on both sides under the grill and spread with butter. Arrange the pear slices on the toast, and top with the slices of the cheese. Put back under the hot grill for a few minutes, until the cheese is golden and melted. Serve at once.

Steps:

• Grease a 9x13 baking dish; set aside. In a large skillet cook pears, brown sugar, and rosemary in 2 T butter over medium heat for 4-5 mins or until pears are tender.
• Arrange 7 or 8 bread slices in a single layer in prepared dish. Spoon pear mixture and arrange Brie on bread slices. Top each stack with a bread slice. Brush bread with melted butter.
• Combine sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over bread. In a medium bowl whisk together milk, eggs, vanilla, and salt. Slowly pour over bread slices. Cover and chill for 1-24 hours.
• Preheat oven to 375°F Bake, uncovered, for 40-45 mins or until edges are puffed and golden. Let stand for 10 minutes. Serve warm with maple syrup, berries, and honey, or cranberry conserve.
