Ingredients

Scale

Fruit and Cheese

  • 2 ripe pears, sliced
  • 8 oz burrata cheese

For Roasting

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt, to taste

Drizzle

  • 1/4 cup fig preserves
  • 2 tbsp balsamic glaze

Garnish and Serving

  • 1/4 cup toasted walnuts
  • Fresh arugula or microgreens, for garnish
  • Crackers or sliced baguette, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Roast Pears: Toss the sliced pears with olive oil and a pinch of salt to enhance their natural sweetness. Spread them on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 12–15 minutes, or until they become tender and slightly caramelized, developing a rich flavor.
  3. Arrange the Board: Place the burrata cheese in the center of a serving board. Surround it artfully with the roasted pear slices, toasted walnuts, and fresh arugula or microgreens to add a peppery, fresh bite and texture contrast.
  4. Prepare the Drizzle: In a small bowl, whisk together the fig preserves and balsamic glaze until smooth. Drizzle this luscious mixture generously over the pears and burrata to infuse the board with a sweet-tart glaze.
  5. Serve: Serve the board immediately alongside crackers or sliced baguette, allowing guests to enjoy the combination of creamy, fruity, nutty, and tangy flavors and textures.

Notes

  • Choose ripe but firm pears to ensure they hold their shape during roasting.
  • For a nut-free version, omit the walnuts or substitute with seeds like pumpkin or sunflower seeds.
  • Balsamic glaze can be substituted with a reduced balsamic vinegar if unavailable.
  • To make this recipe vegetarian-friendly, ensure the crackers or baguette do not contain animal-based additives.
  • This board is best served fresh but can be prepped up to 1 hour ahead; store cheese and pears separately until serving.
