BRUSCHETTA WITH GORGONZOLA AND PEACHES

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Brush both sides of the bread with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and lay on a baking sheet. Broil until lightly browned, about 1 minute a side. While the bread is still hot, gently rub both sides with the garlic. Spread the cheese evenly over each slice.
• Peel the peaches and split each in half vertically, gently twisting the halves in opposite directions to separate them from the pit. Lay each half cut side down and slice into 1/4-inch slices. Divide each half in half again and fan the slices over the cheese. Drizzle with remaining olive oil and rebroil until peaches are soft and hot, about 1 to 2 minutes. Serve immediately.

ROASTED ROSEMARY-GORGONZOLA PEARS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Cut thin slice from rounded side of pear halves, if necessary, so they'll rest level in pan. In 13x9-inch pan, arrange pear halves, cut sides up. Brush tops of pears with oil; sprinkle with salt, pepper and rosemary.
• Roast uncovered 15 minutes. Fill cored hollow of each pear half with 2 teaspoons cheese. Roast uncovered 10 to 15 minutes longer or until pears are tender and cheese is soft. Sprinkle with walnuts. Drizzle with additional olive oil if desired.
