Ingredients

• 2 ripe pears
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Fresh mint leaves
• 4 slices of ciabatta bread
• ½ cup blue cheese
• ¼ cup heavy cream
• Prosciutto slices
• Grilled herbs (rosemary or thyme)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

• Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
• Halve pears, remove seeds, brush with olive oil and season with salt & pepper.
• 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.
• Remove the pears from grill and set aside.
• In a small bowl, combine blue cheese and heavy cream, mixing until smooth and creamy.
• Put bread on grill. Toast for about 1-2 minutes on each side until they are lightly crispy with grill marks.
• Brush toasted bread with remaining olive oil mixed with some roughly chopped mint.
• Place a grilled pear half on each slice of toasted ciabatta.
• Drizzle the blue cheese cream over the grilled pears.
• Top with a slice of prosciutto, more fresh mint leaves and another drizzle of cream.
• Sprinkle with grilled herbs for added smoky flavor and aroma.
• Serve immediately while still warm.
