Grilled Pear on Blue Cheese

 

2 baguettes

1/4 cup superfine sugar

1 cup olive oil

4 ripe pears, preferably Anjou or Bosc

6 ounces cream cheese

6 ounces blue cheese

 

Cut bread into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Lightly toast until golden on both sides.

Prepare grill. In small saucepan, heat sugar and olive oil until sugar melts.

Cut pears into 1/4-inch slices; brush with sugar and oil mixture. Place pears on

hot grill; cook until done, turning once as needed. Pears should char lightly

during cooking. In microwave-safe bowl, combine equal parts cream cheese and

blue cheese; heat in microwave until very soft, about 20 seconds. Stir to blend.

Spread cheeses onto toasted bread slices; place pears on top.
