Glaze & Oil
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 cup pomegranate molasses or pomegranate glaze
Nuts
Greens & Garnish
- Fresh arugula or microgreens, for garnish
To Serve
- Crackers or sliced baguette
Seasoning
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Prepare Pears: Toss the sliced pears gently in olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt to enhance their natural sweetness and flavor.
- Roast Pears: Spread the pear slices evenly on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 12–15 minutes, or until they are tender and have a slight caramelization on the edges.
- Arrange Board: Place the burrata cheese in the center of your serving board. Surround it with the warm roasted pears, toasted walnuts, and fresh arugula or microgreens to add color and texture.
- Drizzle Glaze: Generously drizzle the pomegranate molasses or glaze over the pears and burrata, adding a vibrant, tangy sweetness to balance the creamy and nutty elements.
- Serve: Present the board immediately alongside crackers or sliced baguette for guests to enjoy the varied textures and flavors together.
Notes
- Use ripe yet firm pears to ensure they hold their shape when roasted.
- To toast walnuts, bake them on a baking sheet at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes until fragrant.
- The pomegranate glaze adds a tart sweetness; adjust quantity to taste.
- Substitute arugula with microgreens or fresh basil for a different flavor profile.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and freshness.
