You are too funny....here it is.
Pear and Gorgonzola Crostada
1 recipe All Purpose Piecrust or one sheet of frozen puff pastry thawed and rolled out to a 14 inch diameter circle
2 red onions thinly sliced (but I used sweet onions)
2 Tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3 D'Anjou or Comice pears (or mision figs)
1 1/2 to 2 cups crumbled Gorgonzola Cheese
1/2 cup sliced almonds
2 additonal Tablespoons of butter cut into small pieces
Place dough round on parchment paper lined baking sheet.
Saute onions in butter with salt until soft and carmalized
Cut pears vertically into 1/8 inch slices.
Spread sauteed onions on dough leaving 1 inch border all around pastry.
Top onions with pear slices overlapping
Top with crumbled cheese and sprinkle nuts on top
Then dot with butter.
Fold border over filling so there is a band around the edge. Brush with egg wash.
Bake in preheated oven at 425 in middle shelf for 20-25 minutes.
Cool slightly befor cutting.
This was really a hit and I will definitely make it again and try it with figs
