1 to 3 ripe, firm pears, washed and
dried
Juice of 1 lemon in 1/2 cup water
1/4 pound of Gorgonzola cheese
2 teaspoons chopped fresh chives
Fresh chives for garnish
Cut pears in half, core, and cut into
lengthwise slices 1/3 inch thick. Place the slices in the lemon water to
deter browning.
In a food processor, puree the cheese until
smooth. Add the chopped chives and pulse until just mixed.
Drain the pear slices in a colander. Pat them
dry with a clean towel. Top each slice with a teaspoon of cheese puree.
Garnish with minced chives and serve immediately.
