Expert Tips

You can substitute any of your favorite blue cheese for the gorgonzola.

Don’t like very strong flavors? Use Gorgonzola dolce—a much “sweeter” and milder version of Gorgonzola cheese.

Don’t have fresh thyme? Use a small sliver of pear for the garnish.

I agree with DawnInVB. I love crescent rolls, but I think it would overwhelm the taste of the filling.

Since this is a cold appetizer, I think the filling would be better in a mini filo cup so it's not so doughy
