  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 18 bites

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 pears, sliced
  • 4 oz blue cheese, crumbled
  • 6 slices prosciutto, torn into strips
  • 1 tbsp honey (optional drizzle)
  • Fresh thyme for garnish

Instructions

  1. Arrange Pear Slices: Lay out the pear slices neatly on a serving platter to create a base for the bites.
  2. Add Blue Cheese: Place a small amount of crumbled blue cheese on each pear slice, distributing evenly for flavor balance.
  3. Top with Prosciutto: Add a strip of prosciutto on top of the blue cheese, ensuring each bite has a mix of sweet and savory.
  4. Drizzle Honey: Lightly drizzle honey over the assembled bites to add a touch of sweetness, if desired.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh thyme leaves over the bites for aroma and presentation, then serve immediately to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • Serve immediately to prevent pears from browning and keep them fresh.
  • For a milder flavor, substitute blue cheese with goat cheese.
  • These bites are great for parties and require no cooking, making them quick and easy to prepare.
  • Adjust the amount of honey to your taste preference or omit it for a less sweet version.
