Recipe

Note: All ingredients must be brought to room temperature prior to making.

Begin by preheating the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Next, brush baguette slices on both sides with olive oil and place on a baking rack.

When the oven comes to temperature, put the bread in for 8-10 minutes or until edges are browned.  

Next, slice pears and brush each slice with olive oil. On a grill pan, grill peaches for about two minutes on each side.   

Remove crostini from the oven and smear each baguette slice with gorgonzola cheese. Top with grilled pears and prosciutto.

Lastly, drizzle with truffle oil and serve warm.
