Ingredients

Scale

Fruits and Cheese

  • 2 ripe pears, halved and cored
  • 8 oz burrata cheese (2–3 balls)
  • ¼ cup pomegranate seeds or dried cranberries

Nuts and Herbs

  • ¼ cup walnuts, toasted and chopped
  • Fresh thyme or rosemary sprigs

Seasonings and Oils

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup (plus more for drizzle)
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Serving

  • Baguette slices or artisan crackers, for serving

Instructions

  1. Roast the pears: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush the pear halves evenly with olive oil and maple syrup, then place them cut side up on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast for 15–20 minutes until the pears are golden brown and tender to the touch.
  2. Arrange the board: On a large serving board, position the warm roasted pear halves and place the burrata balls in the center, creating an inviting focal point for your tapas board.
  3. Add toppings: Sprinkle the toasted and chopped walnuts along with pomegranate seeds or dried cranberries over and around the pears and burrata. Scatter fresh thyme or rosemary sprigs for an aromatic garnish. Season lightly with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper for enhanced flavor.
  4. Finish with maple drizzle: Just before serving, drizzle additional maple syrup over the entire board to add a glossy, sweet finishing touch that complements the roasted pears and creamy cheese perfectly.
  5. Serve: Present the board alongside toasted baguette slices or artisan crackers. Encourage guests to create their own bites by pairing the ingredients for a sophisticated, flavorful tapas experience.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, substitute burrata with a plant-based cheese alternative.
  • Walnuts can be replaced with pecans or almonds based on preference or availability.
  • Use fresh seasonal herbs like thyme or rosemary to enhance aroma and flavor.
  • Additional fresh fruit like figs or grapes can be added for variety.
  • To toast walnuts, spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, stirring halfway through.
