Ingredients

The following ingredients have 14 Servings
  • 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 ounces crumbled gorgonzola
  • 1 Bosc pear finely cubed
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped sage
  • 1 cup walnuts
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 scallion thinly sliced for garnish

Instruction

  • For Parmesan Crackers Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Place 12 one-inch circles of grated Parmesan cheese on a sheet pan. Sometimes the cheese spreads so leave enough room. The discs should be approximately an eight of an inch high.
  • Bake crackers for about 10 minutes or until brown around the edges.
  • When done quickly remove the crackers from the sheet pan with a spatula. Cool on a rack. If the crackers start to stick put them back in the oven to warm a bit. The good news about these crackers is that they can be made in advance and stored in an air tight container.
  • Candied Walnuts Place sugar and walnuts in saute pan.
  • On medium heat cook until the sugar becomes a syrup and coats the walnuts. Continue cooking until the sugar is golden brown.
  • Gorgonzola Cheese Mixture Place gorgonzola, diced pears, crumbled candied walnuts, sage in medium bowl. Toss.
  • Place crackers on a serving dish. Place heaping tablespoon of mixture on crackers. Sprinkle with scallions. Serve
