Indulgent mini toasts with caramelized pears and gooey cheese, ideal for a delightful Sunday lunch.
Ingredients:
  • 12 x 2cm-thick slices crusty white bread
  • 5 small ripe beurre bosc pears, halved, core removed
  • 30g butter
  • 16.00 gm brown sugar
  • 40.00 ml white balsamic vinegar
  • 200g brie, thinly sliced
  • 30g baby rocket leaves
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 180°C. Arrange bread slices in a single layer on a large baking tray and brush them with oil. Bake for 10 minutes or until they are lightly golden, flipping them over halfway through.
  • Cut each pear half into 6 wedges using a small sharp knife. In a large frying pan over medium heat, melt the butter until foaming, then add the pear and sugar. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pear is caramelized.
  • Pour the vinegar into the pan and cook it while stirring for 2 minutes.
  • Place slices of brie on top of the toasts and bake in the oven for about 4 minutes, or until the brie is melted. Divide the toasts among serving plates and top with caramelized pear. Serve with rocket on the side.
