Instructions

  • Cut the slices of prosciutto in half lengthwise.

  • 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.

  • 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's made.
