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
- Begin by placing the Robiola cheese on a beautiful serving platter, allowing it to come to room temperature for enhanced creaminess.
- 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.
- Drizzle the warm honey generously over the Robiola cheese, allowing it to cascade down the sides.
- Arrange the pear slices artfully around the cheese, creating a visually appealing display.
- Sprinkle the chopped walnuts over the pears and cheese, adding a delightful crunch.
- Garnish the dish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and a refreshing aroma.
- Serve immediately, encouraging guests to scoop cheese, pear, and walnuts together for the perfect bite.
