Luvvs, you can make this seared pear dessert feed a whole dinner party for less than ten dollars. Go ahead and calllll me obsessed with this savory, sweet dessert. As I was developing recipes for the summer, I thought about how much I love pear and honey on a crostini, and it inspired me to experiment with those flavors for dessert rather than as an appetizer. It's laughable how easy and cheap this is, but it sounds straight up fancy - fancy enough that you can serve it for a dinner party, but simple enough that it could become a daily, fairly healthy snack. I gave you four different variations of this recipe, but I think there are some easy ways you could experiment even further with spices.
I made this on my panini maker but this would be just as good, if not better, on a grill. The panini maker is a great way to sear fruit, veggies, and meat in a pinch!
Seared Pears with Goat Cheese
Ingredients
Pear
Goat Cheese
Pecans
Cinnamon
Honey
Directions
Sears Pears until soft, roughly 3 to 5 minutes depending on how hot your grill or panini maker is.
Once the pears are soft, they need to be topped immediately with a layer of goat cheese.
After the goat cheese is on there, you can experiment with different toppings. I did the following combinations on top of the goat cheese:
Honey + Cinnamon
Honey + Cinnamon + Pecan
Pecans + Honey
Honey
My favorite was the honey, cinnamon combination, but they were honestly all sooooo good. Goat cheese deliciousness for life!
