As an old Italian proverb says: “Don't you let the farmer know, how good pears and cheese pair together”
... pears and cheese, a classic with a new soul...
Peel the pears and cut them in half lengthwise, remove the core and cut each half into 2 thin slices.
In a bowl marinade the pear slices with 2 tbsp SABA, 1 tbsp olive oil, lemon juice and a pinch of salt.
Blend the almond, 4 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp SABA, salt, pepper, to a smooth paste, eventually adding a little water.
Grill the pear slices on a piping hot griddle pan, or bake them for 10 mins in hot oven at 180°C, softening them, but still with a bite.
To prepare the crostini, spread a little almond paste on each bread slice then a grilled pear slice and 1 tbsp of the grated cheese. Grill in the oven for 3 minutes and serve hot with.
Serve finishing with drops of Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena FRANCO.
