I love pears.  I love brie.  I love prosciutto.  What a combination!

 

This is such an easy recipe, but the contrast in flavours is delightful! Oh Yummmm....

 

  

Ingredients

18 small pears - not quite ripe and still a little hard

3 tablespoons sugar

1 cup rice bran or olive oil

 

80 grams of brie cheese

80 grams blue vein cheese

5 slices of pancetta or prosciutto

18 sprigs of parsley leaves

 

Preheat the oven to 200C.
Halve the fruit and toss them in a bowl with sugar and oil, till pears are well coated.
Roast in a paper lined roasting tray for 20 minutes till lovely and golden brown. Allow to cool.

Using a pair of scissors, cut each slice of prosciutto into 4 then halved again , so that there are now 36 to 40 ribbons of pancetta.
Tear the parsley so you have a supply of 36 small sprigs. Lay the leaf onto each roasted pear half.

 

Using a small knife slice the cheeses into small half teaspoon sizes. Lay the tiny serve onto the leaf so that it sits elegantly on the roasted fruit.  Repeat.

 

Wrap the ribbon of pancetta/prosciutto around the cheese and pear tucking in the ends at the base of the fruit.

 

Enjoy!
