Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices Soft white bread (crusts removed)
- 100 grams Gorgonzola cheese
- 50 grams Cream cheese (softened)
- 1 medium Ripe pear (thinly sliced, core removed)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 cup Arugula or baby spinach leaves
Instructions
In a small bowl, mash the gorgonzola cheese and cream cheese together using a fork until smooth and creamy.
Slice the pear thinly and drizzle with lemon juice to prevent browning. Set aside.
Spread a thin layer of the gorgonzola-cream cheese mixture evenly onto one side of each bread slice.
Drizzle a small amount of honey over 4 of the bread slices (on top of the cheese mixture).
Lay 2–3 slices of pear over the honey-drizzled bread slices.
Top the pear with a few arugula or baby spinach leaves for added freshness and texture.
Place the remaining 4 bread slices, cheese-side down, on top of the layered pears and greens to form sandwiches.
Using a sharp knife, carefully trim the edges of the sandwiches if needed, ensuring they are even.
Cut each sandwich into 4 small triangles or squares for serving.
Serve immediately or cover with a slightly damp paper towel and plastic wrap to keep fresh until ready to serve.
