Introducing: Caramelized Onion and Pear Crostini

Today, I’m excited to share a recipe for caramelized onion and pear crostini. This dish is perfect for fall gatherings, with its warm, sweet, and savory flavors that come together beautifully on a crunchy slice of bread. It’s a unique combination that will surprise and delight your taste buds.

Ingredients:

  • 2 red onions (250g)
  • 1 pear (150g)
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 baguette, sliced (200g)
  • 4 oz goat cheese (115g)
  • Fresh thyme leaves
  • Olive oil
  • Salt
  • Black pepper

Kitchen Tools:

  • knife
  • cutting board
  • skillet
  • spatula
  • oven

To start, thinly slice the red onions and pear. In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the onions in olive oil until they become caramelized. Add in the pear slices, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the pears are soft and caramelized.

Meanwhile, brush the baguette slices with olive oil and toast them in the oven until they are golden and crispy. Spread a generous amount of goat cheese on each crostini.

Once the onion and pear mixture is ready, spoon it onto the goat cheese-covered crostini. Sprinkle fresh thyme leaves on top for an extra burst of flavor.

This dish serves approximately 4 people, with each serving weighing around 150 grams. A serving of this caramelized onion and pear crostini is approximately 250 calories.

One clever tip for this recipe is to sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the crostini just before serving. The salt will enhance the flavors of the caramelized onions and pears, taking this dish to the next level.

I encourage you to give this caramelized onion and pear crostini recipe a try and make it your own by adding your favorite herbs or cheeses. Enjoy!
