- 2 Pears
- 4 oz Creamy Goat Cheese * Log, not crumbled
- 2 Tbsp Pomegranate Seeds
- 12 Candied Pecan Halves
- 2 - 3 Tbsp Honey
Slice each pear into six “plates” or “discs,” creating a total of 12 slices.
Gently remove the seeds with a knife. * Try and avoid creating large holes in pear slices when removing seeds so the cheese does not seep through the bottom.
Spread a layer of goat cheese out to the edges of each slice of pear, using all 4 ounces between the 12 slices. *If cheese is crumbling and not spreading well, bring the cheese to room temperature or microwave it for five seconds.
Place one candied pecan half on top of the cheese and in the center of each pear slice.
Sprinkle ½ tsp (about 5 seeds) of pomegranate to the top of each pear slice.
Lightly drizzle honey on top of each pear slice using a back-and-forth motion.
Serve and enjoy!
