Savory Blue Cheese Cheesecake with Cherry Pear Compote and Cherry Balsamic Glaze

"A rich and elegant savory appetizer, worthy of the time and effort. Excellent for wine tasting parties, holiday gatherings and special occasions. The best part is that it can be made days in advance and topped just before serving. I created this for a gathering of Allrecipes foodies in Southern California."
