Hello, foodies! Today, I am excited to share a unique and flavorful recipe for Spiced Pear and Goat Cheese Crostini. This dish is perfect for holiday gatherings, as the warm spices and creamy goat cheese create a delicious combination that will impress your guests. Let’s get started!

Ingredients:

• 1 baguette, sliced
• 150g goat cheese
• 2 pears, thinly sliced
• 2 tbsp honey
• 50g walnuts, chopped
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Pinch of salt

Kitchen Tools:

• baking sheet
• knife
• cutting board
• oven
• skillet

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the baguette slices on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Toast in the oven for about 5-7 minutes, until the bread is crispy.

In a skillet, heat the honey over medium heat. Add the sliced pears, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until the pears are softened and fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.

Spread a generous amount of goat cheese on each toasted baguette slice. Top with the spiced pears and chopped walnuts. Drizzle with a little more honey for extra sweetness.

Tips:

For an extra flavor boost, you can caramelize the walnuts before adding them to the crostini. Simply toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant, then add a tablespoon of honey and cook until the walnuts are coated and sticky.

The approximate total weight of the cooked dish is 530g, with about 12 servings. Each serving weighs approximately 45g, with an estimated calorie count of 120 per crostini.
