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

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mash the gorgonzola cheese and cream cheese together using a fork until smooth and creamy.

Step 2

Slice the pear thinly and drizzle with lemon juice to prevent browning. Set aside.

Step 3

Spread a thin layer of the gorgonzola-cream cheese mixture evenly onto one side of each bread slice.

Step 4

Drizzle a small amount of honey over 4 of the bread slices (on top of the cheese mixture).

Step 5

Lay 2–3 slices of pear over the honey-drizzled bread slices.

Step 6

Top the pear with a few arugula or baby spinach leaves for added freshness and texture.

Step 7

Place the remaining 4 bread slices, cheese-side down, on top of the layered pears and greens to form sandwiches.

Step 8

Using a sharp knife, carefully trim the edges of the sandwiches if needed, ensuring they are even.

Step 9

Cut each sandwich into 4 small triangles or squares for serving.

Step 10

Serve immediately or cover with a slightly damp paper towel and plastic wrap to keep fresh until ready to serve.
