Ingredients

Steps

  •  
    1
    Heat oven to 375°F. Unroll dough onto work surface. Cut dough into 15 squares. Gently press 1 square in bottom and up side of each of 12 ungreased mini muffin cups, shaping edges to form rims 1/4-inch high.
  •  
    2
    Bake 8 - 9 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Cool cups in pan 4 minutes.
  •  
    3
    Meanwhile, in medium bowl, mix cream cheese and gorgonzola with fork until well combined. Stir in chopped pear.

    When cups are completely cool, fill each with 1 rounded tablespoon cheese-pear mixture. Garnish each cup with fresh thyme. Serve immediately.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    You can substitute any of your favorite blue cheese for the gorgonzola.
  • tip 2
    Don’t like very strong flavors? Use Gorgonzola dolce—a much “sweeter” and milder version of Gorgonzola cheese.
  • tip 3
    Don’t have fresh thyme? Use a small sliver of pear for the garnish.
