Recipe Review

9th March 2012

Zosia from Toronto, ON

Nutty, garlicky toasted bread topped with sweet, juicy grilled pears and tangy goat cheeseā€¦..the flavours and textures marry beautifully to create this homage to the pear.

The bread slices are first spread with a pine nut/garlic/oil puree. I must admit that I cheated here and used ground almonds I had on hand as the quantity of the mixture was too small for my food processor. This component is delicious - it was worth making the recipe just for the discovery of this spread alone.

While the bread toasts, the pear slices (I used Anjou) are grilled. The crostini are topped with the pears and goat cheese and returned to the oven to warm.

I served this as an appetizer, but they were so good I could have easily made a meal of them: )
