I would make the crust a little thinner and add a thicker layer of gorgonzola. The flavor is supurb!
This is a great taste sensation and certainly something new to add to the holiday food festivities. I agree that the crust can be thinner, and so I moved up to a larger fluted tart pan, doubling the gorgonzola. I sprayed the pan first with Pam — this was the only way to remove it undamaged. I have made this 4 times since I first read about it. Even decorated it with the fresh sage sprigs and walnut halves! Now, it’s a must-have.
Sorry but I don’t like blue cheese. Can I substitute let’s say goat cheese or any other ?
Can this be made without the alcohol component? Is there a possible substitute?
