How to Make Pear Gorgonzola Tart
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake a 9-inch store-bought or homemade tart shell according to package directions, or until lightly golden. Let cool slightly.
- While the crust bakes, combine 4 oz cream cheese, 2 oz gorgonzola cheese (crumbled), 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper in a medium bowl.
- Use a hand blender or whisk to thoroughly combine the cheeses until smooth and creamy.
- Melt 2 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 ripe but firm pears, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and slightly softened.
- Once the tart shell is cooled, gently spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the bottom.
- Arrange the cooked pear slices in a decorative pattern over the cheese filling.
- Top with 2 oz thinly sliced prosciutto.
- Bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is heated through and the prosciutto is slightly crispy.
- Let cool slightly before slicing into wedges and serving. Enjoy!
