A word from the cook
This one is easy and always a huge hit!
Ingredients

3 large pears, cored. Quartered and cut into 1/4 inch thick strips
1 large onion, sliced into long thin strips
2 Tbsp. olive oil, plus more for the bread
Salt and pepper to taste
Gorgonzola cheese
Candied walnuts
Pesto
One loaf of French or rustic loaf bread, sliced about ¾ - 1 inch thick.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 F. Lay bread slices on a baking sheet and brush the tops lightly with olive oil. Bake until toasted, about 10 – 15 minutes. Set aside to cool.

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil. Add the onion and caramelize. When caramelized, add the pear strips and cook until tender. Salt and pepper to taste.

Spread each slice of toasted bread with some pesto. Spoon on some of the caramelized onion/ pear mixture on top of the pesto. Sprinkle some gorgonzola cheese on top of the onion/ pear mixture. Garnish with candied walnuts.
