Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • Robiola cheese (8 ounces, at room temperature)
  • Honey (1/4 cup, plus extra for drizzling)
  • Pears (2 medium, ripe but firm, sliced)
  • Walnuts (1/2 cup, chopped)
  • Fresh mint leaves (1/4 cup, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Begin by placing the Robiola cheese on a beautiful serving platter, allowing it to come to room temperature for enhanced creaminess.
  2. In a small saucepan over low heat, gently warm the honey until it becomes more fluid, about 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to boil it.
  3. Drizzle the warm honey generously over the Robiola cheese, allowing it to cascade down the sides.
  4. Arrange the pear slices artfully around the cheese, creating a visually appealing display.
  5. Sprinkle the chopped walnuts over the pears and cheese, adding a delightful crunch.
  6. Garnish the dish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and a refreshing aroma.
  7. Serve immediately, encouraging guests to scoop cheese, pear, and walnuts together for the perfect bite.
