Makes one loaf
This comes from our wonderful friend Peg, who lives up the street. I added the sauteed red onions because almost everything is better with them.
Ingredients
- 1 large red onion, cut into thin slices
- Olive oil
- 1 loaf good crusty bread, like an Italian or French loaf
- 1/3 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup crumbled gorgonzola or blue cheese
- 4 pears, ripe and sliced into thin slices
Directions
- Cook red onion with a little olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat until well softened
- Preheat oven to broil
- Mix butter and gorgonzola well in a small bowl, set aside
- Slice loaf in half lengthwise
- Drizzle olive oil on cut side of bread and place under broiler a minute or so until it just starts to get crispy
- Remove and cover cut side of bread with red onion and then cover that with pear slices
- Then spread gorgonzola butter over pears
- Put under broiler until light brown and bubbly
- Remove and slice into serving pieces
