Description

Roasted cinnamon pear bruschetta with honey mascarpone on a whole grain baguette.

Ingredients

  • 1 loaf Whole Grain Baguette, Sliced Into Rounds
  • 1 Tablespoon Butter
  • 3 whole Pears, Chopped (I Used Red Bartlett)
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt
  • ½ Tablespoons Cinnamon
  • 1 pinch Nutmeg
  • ½ cups Mascarpone
  • 1 teaspoon Honey
  • 2 Tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400F. Lay baguette rounds on a baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and toasted. Set aside.

Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and add butter. Add pears, then sprinkle with salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Allow to caramelize slowly for about 10-15 minutes.

In a bowl, combine mascarpone and honey. Spread on baguette slices.

Once pears are caramelized, add balsamic vinegar and cook for 1-2 more minutes. Add spoonfuls of pear mixture on top of mascarpone on baguette. These can be served warm or cold.

This was so delicious and perfect as a brunch app. Instead of marscapone, I used goat cheese, althouhg I didn’t add honey to it as the recipe called for. I did however, drizzle each of the crostinis with a bit of evoo and honey before I toasted them. will def use this recipe again!

Hi jennyb23 – I used a whole loaf of bread, so I’d say about 1 1/2-2 cups of chopped pears? The loaf I bought was very small circumference wise, so it will depend on the thickness of the bread.

Whoops, posted this under the blog entry, but really goes here.

Can you provide an estimate of how much pear was used for this recipe? I’ve just peeled, cored, and chopped about 10 cups of sand pears from my yard and would love to try this out with some of them! Thanks!

I just made these for a party I hosted this weekend and they were so delicious and super easy to make. I had a few left over and ate them the next morning straight from the fridge and they were still yummy!

I was so excited to try these and was really disappointed. I just didn’t like the flavor combination. Not even half were eaten at the party I hosted.

This is another dish we got off here to serve at our event, everyone loved these. They were so easy to make and so easy to prepare. Wonderful!

However, I would add the salt little bits at a time until you get the flavor you want, we did as directed and needed to balance out with sugar.
