    Recipe Introduction


    Points: 3
    Servings: 36

    List of Ingredients




    1 package (8 oz.) finely chopped ready-to-eat ham
    (about 2 cups)
    1 package (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
    1 can (15.25 oz.) Bartlett pears in heavy syrup,
    drained and finely chopped
    1/3 cup (3 oz.) crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
    1/4 cup sliced green onion
    1/2 teaspoon seasoned pepper
    1 loaf French bread or 3 to 4 French sandwich rolls
    1/3 cup olive oil
    Green onion slices for garnish

    Recipe



    Combine ham, cream cheese, pears, cheese, onion and pepper; refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow flavors to blend. Slice French bread into 1/4-inch slices. Place in single layer on a baking sheet. Brush both sides of each slice with some of the olive oil. Bake at 375º for 6 minutes per side or until toasted and golden brown. Remove from oven to cool on wire rack. When ready to serve, spoon about 1 tablespoon ham mixture on each toasted bread slice. Garnish with green onion slices.

    Makes 36 to 40 appetizer servings.


    Serving Suggestions
    Crostini means "little toasts" in Italian. A wonderful little bit of savory and sweet flavors make a good addition to a winter party buffet.
