Cranberry Gorgonzola Appetizer Tart

This is an amazing appie my Aunt made this weekend when the girls in my family met up for our annual Christmas luncheon. It is a recipe from Ocean Spray and worth every bite let me tell you!

1 refrigerated pie crust (from 15 ounce pack) at room temperature, 8 ounce pack of cream cheese, softened, 1/2 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese, room temperature, 2 tbsp. milk, 1 large egg, lightly beaten, 2/3 cup of dried cranberries (craisins by Ocean Spray), 2 tbsp. chopped green onions, 2 tbsp. of chopped pecans.

Heat oven to 450 degrees. Prepare pie crust as directed on package for one crust baked shell using a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Trim excess pie crust even with the top of the pan. Bake 9-11 minutes or until light brown. Cool 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees. Combine cream cheese and Gorgonzola in a medium mixing bowl; beat with electric mixer on medium speed until blended. Beat in milk and egg until well mixed. Gently stir in dried cranberries and green onions. Spread mixture in baked tart shell; sprinkle with pecans. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until filling is set. Let stand 30 minutes before serving. Cut into wedges. If desired, garnish with additional green onions. Store covered in refrigerator.
