2 cups granola
-
2 Bartlett pears

Recipe Method
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degree. In a small bowl, melt 4 tablespoons
butter in the microwave. Using a
food processor,
grind the
granola into fine crumbs. Add the melted
butter and process until the mixture has the consistency of wet sand. Press evenly over the bottom and 1/2 inch up the sides of a 9 and 1/2 inch
tart pan. Bake until dry, 10 to 15 min. Let cool completely.
2. Meanwhile, peel and core the pears and cut lengthwise into wedges. In a medium skillet, melt the remaining2 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Add the pears and cook turning occasionally, until golden and barely tender, 8 to 10 min. Let cool.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk thee cream cheese with the cream. Add 2 teaspoons chives and season with salt and pepper. Spoon the mixture into the crust and spread evenly. Sprinkle the gorgonzola on to. Fan the pear slices over the cheese in the circular pattern. Garnish with the remaining 1 teaspoon chives. Serve at room temperature.
