This is the kind of simple, not-too-sweet dessert that I enjoy to punctuate a lovely meal. Please read the instructions because I'm also looking for input for a possible variation. Ingredients:
1/4 cup unsalted butter |
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar |
8 oz goat cheese, cut into 1 ounce slices |
2 bosc pears, peeled, cored and halved |
2/3 cup honey |
chopped walnuts, pine nuts, or pecans, for garnish |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400
2. Melt the butter in an oven-safe baking dish that's just about the right size to hold the pears.
3. Place the pears in the pan, cut sides down and roast for about 20 minutes.
4. Drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the pears and cook about 5 minutes more.
5. Remove the pears to individual serving dishes.
6. Add the honey to the pan, stir until dissolved.
7. Add the goat cheese slices to the pan and let the cheese warm up in the hot syrup.
8. Place the warm goat cheese on the pears,.
9. Drizzle with the balsamic-honey syrup.
10. Garnish and serve.
11. I'd like feedback on altering this recipe. I'm thinking of wrapping a pear half and a slice of goat cheese in a piece of filo and cooking. Then, I'd top that with the syrup.
