Oh my, this looks fabuloso! Everything I love on a baguette! I plan on making this tomorrow and taking it to a friend's house for the appetizer. I'll be sure to get back to you. Part 2: I brought this to a friends home for appetizers and it was a HUGE hit! I wish I had made more. The pear balances out the saltiness of the cheese beautifully. I substituted slivered almonds for the walnuts due to allergies..... worked great. I also toasted the nuts in the oven before combining with the Gorgonzola cheese. THANKS, this recipe is a keeper!
