Prosciutto Wrapped Pears with Blue Cheese

Ingredients

2 ripe pears, cored and sliced

3-4 ounce package prosciutto

2 ounce wedge of blue cheese or gorgonzola, cut into rectangular slices to place against the pear slices

Instructions

Cut the slices of prosciutto in half lengthwise.
Place a piece of the blue cheese against the flat sliced side of the pear.
Wrap one of the strips of prosciutto around the pear and blue cheese and place a toothpick or appetizer skewer through the center of it.
Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

If you don’t plan to serve immediately, rub the pears with a little bit of fresh lemon juice to prevent them from turning brown.
This appetizer is best eaten the day it is made.
