Bruschetta - Roasted Cinnamon Pear

Ingredients

  • 1 whole grain baguette (sliced into rounds)

  • 2 pears (chopped, I used red bartlett)

  • 1 tablespoon butter 

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt 

  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 

  • 1 pinch nutmeg 

  • 2 tablespoons Maine-ly Drizzle's cinnamon pear balsamic vinegar (you can use your favorite dark balsamic)

  • 1/2 cup mascarpone 

  • 1 teaspoon honey

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400. Lay baguette rounds on a baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and toasted. Set aside.

  2. Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and add butter. Add pears, then sprinkle with salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Allow to caramelize slowly – for about 10-15 minutes.
  3. In a bowl, combine mascarpone and honey. Spread on baguette slices.

  4. Once pears are caramelized, add balsamic vinegar and cook for 1-2 more minutes. Add spoonfuls of pear mixture on top of mascarpone on baguette. These can be served warm or cold.
