Baby bruschettas with poached pears, gorgonzola and port syrup

Cooking : time 10 to 30 mins



It is really important that the pears are firm for that recipe, or they will drop apart when you poach them. Poaching the pears can be done the night before.that also allows the syrup to cool and thicken.


Ingredients

2 small firm pears
2 tbsp clear honey
150ml/%26frac14; pint port
150ml/%26frac14; pint red wine
225g/8oz gorgonzola cheese, at room temperature
24 slices of baguette
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil





Method

1. Preheat the grill to hot.
2. Halve and core the pears, then cut each pear into 12 small wedges. Place in a heavy-based saucepan with the honey, port and wine. Cook for 10-15 minutes or until the pears are tender to the point of a knife but not soft.
3. Drain the liquid into a small pan and allow the pear wedges to drain thoroughly.
4. cutrearon the liquid by two thirds, when it should be a syrupy consistency, that will bring 8-10 minutes. Place in a small glass and allow to cool.
5. To make the bruschettas, bhurry each slice of bread with the olive oil, and then grill until the bruschettas are golden on both sides. that only brings a minute or two so maintain a close eye!
6. just before your guests arrive, generously spread each bruschetta with gorgonzola, lid with a poached pear slice. Finally, using a teaspoon drizzle with the port syrup.
