It’s pomegranate season & a friend gave me a bowl full (yay!), so I was eager to find & try new recipes. So, here is my variation on a simple Martha Stewart recipe.

Pomegranate and pear (2)

MINI GOATS CHEESE AND PEAR SNACKS WITH POMEGRANATE RUBIES

Savoury goats cheese topped with sweet pear and pomegranate - a match made in heaven.
Servings: 2 people
Course: Appetizer, Snack

Ingredients
  

  • 8 slices of melba toast or four slices of ciabatta if you prefer
  • 50 g Goat’s milk cheese
  • 1 Pear sliced
  • 1 Pomegranate seeded (look here if you don’t know how to do this)
  • Some butter
  • Honey to taste

Method
 

  1. Mash up the Goat’s milk cheese in a little bowl & add honey to taste. You can add a few pomegranate rubies to the cheese & honey, but that’s optional. Heat your butter in a pan, then add the pear slices. Keep turning them so that they become golden brown on both sides.
  2. If you’re using ciabatta slices, give them a quick toast. Spread each melba toast of ciabatta slice with a generous amount of the cheese mixture, now top with a slice or two of pear, sprinkle with a generous amount of pomegranate seeds & drizzle with as much honey as you like.
  3. All of this should take you about five minutes & voila, you have a snack or unusual little breakfast. Enjoy!

Notes

Ps. It really feels like you’ve discovered something magical every time you cut your pomegranate open!

Ps. It really feels like you’ve discovered something magical every time you cut your pomegranate open. One day (when I’m grown up & have a big garden), I’ll be planting a pomegranate tree… or is it a bush!?
