Ingredients 🛒

4 ripe pears (Anjou or Bartlett), sliced into 1/4-inch rounds

2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

1 tbsp brown sugar

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1 cup fresh burrata cheese

1/2 cup pomegranate arils

1/4 cup pistachios, finely chopped

2 tbsp honey

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)


Directions 🍐

Step 1: Roast the Pear Slices

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Arrange pear slices on the sheet. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon.
  3. Roast for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and slightly caramelized. Let cool.

Step 2: Assemble the Towers

  1. Place the largest pear slice on a serving plate. Add a dollop of burrata on top.
  2. Layer a smaller pear slice over the burrata, repeating until a tower is formed (3-4 slices per tower).
  3. Scatter pomegranate arils and chopped pistachios over and around the towers.

Step 3: Finishing Touches

  1. Drizzle towers with honey for a touch of sweetness.
  2. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and a light sprinkle of cinnamon for added flavor and color.

Tips:

Use a melon baller to scoop burrata into perfect dollops for an even presentation.

For extra flavor, add a splash of vanilla to the honey drizzle.

Serve immediately to enjoy the creamy burrata at its best.
