Directions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Halve pears, remove seeds, brush with olive oil and season with salt & pepper.
  3. Place pears on grill, cut side down. Grill for about 3-4 minutes until they develop grill marks and caramelize. Don’t move them too much to allow for caramelization.
  4. Remove the pears from grill and set aside.
  5. In a small bowl, combine blue cheese and heavy cream, mixing until smooth and creamy.
  6. Put bread on grill. Toast for about 1-2 minutes on each side until they are lightly crispy with grill marks.
  7. Brush toasted bread with remaining olive oil mixed with some roughly chopped mint.
  8. Place a grilled pear half on each slice of toasted ciabatta.
  9. Drizzle the blue cheese cream over the grilled pears.
  10. Top with a slice of prosciutto, more fresh mint leaves and another drizzle of cream.
  11. Sprinkle with grilled herbs for added smoky flavor and aroma.
  12. Serve immediately while still warm.
