I’m rolling out a few new appetizers this season, and this one is definitely stealing the show. Whipped gorgonzola, warm pears, walnuts, and rosemary on crispy crostini. So simple, so good.

Whipped Gorgonzola Crostini with Sautéed Pears, Walnuts & Rosemary

Ingredients (makes ~20 crostini)
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes

For the Crostini
	•	1 baguette, sliced into ½-inch rounds
	•	Olive oil for brushing
	•	Pinch of salt

For the Whipped Gorgonzola
	•	4 oz gorgonzola, softened
	•	4 oz cream cheese
	•	2–3 tbsp heavy cream or more

For the Pear Topping
	•	2 ripe pears, peeled & diced
	•	1 tbsp butter
	•	1–2 tbsp honey 
	•	¼ cup walnuts, chopped
	•	Pinch of salt
	•	1 tsp fresh rosemary, minced

Instructions

Heat oven to 400°F  Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush lightly with olive oil. Bake 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp. Let cool.
Add gorgonzola, cream cheese, honey, and heavy cream to a food processor. Chill until needed.
Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add pears and sauté 3–5 minutes, until softened. Add honey, walnuts, rosemary, and a pinch of salt. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Spread each crostini with a generous spoonful of whipped gorgonzola. Top with the warm pear–walnut mixture. Finish with extra rosemary or a crack of black pepper.
