Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ripe pears (halved and cored)
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 100 g burrata cheese (or fresh mozzarella as a substitute)
- 2 tbsp pomegranate seeds
- 2 tbsp mixed nuts (walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds, roughly chopped)
- 1–2 sprigs of fresh thyme (for garnish)
- 1 tbsp maple syrup (optional, for drizzle)
- Pinch of freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
1️⃣ Caramelize the pears:
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Add the pear halves, cut side down, and drizzle with honey. Sprinkle cinnamon over the pears and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the cut side is golden and caramelized. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes to warm through. Remove and set on a serving plate.
2️⃣ Prepare the nuts:
- In the same skillet, lightly toast the chopped nuts over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Set aside.
3️⃣ Assemble the bites:
- Place a generous spoonful of burrata on each pear half. Top with a sprinkle of toasted nuts and a few pomegranate seeds.
4️⃣ Garnish and serve:
- Drizzle with maple syrup (if using) and add a pinch of black pepper for a hint of spice. Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs for an elegant touch. Serve warm or at room temperature.
