🍐 Caramelized Pear & Walnut Toastie
Ingredients:
- 1 ripe pear, thinly sliced
- 1–2 tsp butter (or coconut oil)
- 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
- A pinch of cinnamon
- 2 slices of good-quality bread (like sourdough or brioche)
- 2 tbsp soft goat cheese or brie (or cream cheese for a milder option)
- Handful of chopped walnuts (toasted if you’re feelin’ fancy)
- Optional: drizzle of balsamic glaze or a few thyme leaves 🌿
Instructions:
- Caramelize the pears:
In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter and add sliced pears. Drizzle with honey and sprinkle with cinnamon. Cook for 5–7 minutes, flipping gently, until golden and tender. - Assemble the toastie:
Spread cheese on both slices of bread. Layer on the warm pears and sprinkle with walnuts. Add a little balsamic glaze if using. - Toast it up:
Butter the outside of the bread and grill in a pan or sandwich press until golden and crisp on both sides (about 3–4 min per side). - Slice & serve:
Cut diagonally for the ultimate toastie moment. Optional dusting of powdered sugar if you wanna sweeten the deal 😌✨
Serving vibe:
Pairs beautifully with a hot cup of chai, a chilly morning, and soft jazz in the background 🍂📻
