Yield
Serves 4
Ingredients
4 ounces chilled Gorgonzola cheese (for strong flavor) or 6 ounces chilled Saga Blue cheese (for milder flavor)
1 firm-ripe pear such as Bartlett or Anjou
four 1/2-inch-thick slices whole-grain bread
1 cup watercress sprigs (about 1/2 bunch, coarse stems discarded)
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat broiler.
Step 2
Cut cheese into thin slices. Halve pear lengthwise and core with a lemon-ball cutter. Slice pear thin crosswise.
Step 3
On a baking sheet toast both sides of bread about 3 inches from heat until golden. Divide watercress among toasts and cover with overlapping pear slices. Arrange cheese over pear slices and broil sandwiches until cheese is melted, about 1 minute.
