Ripe pears and gorgonzola are wonderful together, and when paired with woody rosemary and crunchy walnuts, absolutely amazing. The combination of flavors in this simple, yet elegant tart are the perfect way to start any dinner party. The final drizzle of honey perfectly complements the pungent gorgonzola. We love this with a crisp glass of white wine.
