PREPARATION

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Slice the baguette on a bias about ½ inch thick then drizzle each slice with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 20-25 minutes until toasted. Right out of the oven rub garlic on the toast.

Make the gorgonzola spread by combining Gorgonzola, yogurt , olive oil, lemon juice, zest, and salt and pepper until the mixture is a creamy spread. Set aside.

Thinly slice your pears and wrap each slice in 1 slice of prosciutto. On your garlic toast, spread your gorgonzola spread, top with your wrapped pears with prosciutto. Garnish and season with salt, pepper and reserved lemon zest.
