EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

*All breads made with at least 8 grams whole grain. At least 48 grams whole grain recommended daily.

Using Gorgonzola cheese here will help you cut down on fat, but not on flavor. Gorgonzola has a strong and slightly pungent flavor, so you need only a small amount to make a big flavor impact.

Amazing recipe! I made this for a girls night gathering and it was a huge hit! Layers of flavor - super good! After taking out of oven, I used foil to cover to help steam the spinach and remaining pears. Worked great. I would only suggest adding a pinch of kosher salt over the top. Perfect pairing with Pinot Gris!
