Reviews 02/3/2007 - Goldie I am making the "Brandied Blue Cheese and Pear Crostini" today for the second time. It is wonderful, tasty and enjoyed by all. 01/6/2007 - Trish Was looking forward to testing this recipe, but was disappointed. I wonder if my brandy had gone "bad" or is 2tbsp too much? Would like to try again, but will buy new brandy and add gradually to taste.
