Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2: Prepare the Baking Sheet

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 3: Arrange the Baguette Slices

Arrange the baguette slices on the prepared baking sheet and brush them lightly with olive oil.

Step 4: Toast the Baguette Slices

Place the baking sheet in the oven and toast the bread for about 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden and crispy.

Step 5: Add the Burrata Cheese

Once the crostini are cool enough to handle, place a generous spoonful of fresh burrata cheese on each slice.

Step 6: Top with Pear Slices

Layer a few thin slices of ripe pear on top of the burrata cheese.

Step 7: Drizzle with Honey

Lightly drizzle honey over the pear slices for added sweetness.

Step 8: Season and Garnish

Notes

Ingredient Quality

For the best flavor, use ripe and fresh pears as well as high-quality burrata cheese.

Serving Suggestion

These crostini are best served immediately to maintain their crispness but can be prepared in stages if needed.

Variation Ideas

Consider adding nuts for extra crunch or replacing honey with balsamic glaze for a tangy twist.
