- 1 tablespoon chopped walnuts
- 1 tablespoon crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
- 1 teaspoon honey

To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. Lay out a sheet of phyllo pastry and brush it with olive oil. Cut the pastry into 4 equal squares. Place a few slices of pear on each square, followed by a sprinkle of chopped walnuts and crumbled Gorgonzola cheese. Drizzle a teaspoon of honey over each square.
