Ingredients
1refrigerated pie crust, thawed (package usually contains two, save other for use later)

Place crust in oven and par bake for 8 minutes or until just starting to turn very lightly golden. Remove from oven, but leave heat on.
Add one piece of center cut Gorgonzola in middle of pie crust, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the honey. Top with remaining piece of Gorgonzola.
Pack the gap surrounding pie edge and cheese with chopped dried fruit. Return to oven to bake for 5 more minutes, or until crust golden brown and cheese softening.
Remove from oven, drizzle fruit area and top of cheese with remaining honey. Top with thyme, if desired.
