Made with Red Anjou pears, this appetizer is easy and bursting with flavor. Red Anjou Pears are the perfect accompaniment to this sweet-savory bruschetta due to their texture (somewhat soft and juicy) and subtle sweetness.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 USA Red Anjou pear, sliced thin
  • 1-10 ounces baguette or French bread
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
  • ¼ cup fig jam
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
  • 2 ounces shaved Pecorino-Romano cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped pecans, toasted

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat the oven to 350℉.
  2. Place the sliced baguette on a baking sheet and drizzle with the olive oil. Toast for 5-7 minutes or until the bread is lightly toasted and golden brown.
  3. Spread each slice of toasted bread with fig jam. Top with a slice of pear, shaved cheese and toasted chopped pecans. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and serve.
