When you need an appetizer that feels fancy but is incredibly easy to make, Pear & Burrata Crostini is the perfect choice. Crisp toasted bread is layered with sweet ripe pears, creamy burrata, and a drizzle of honey and fresh thyme for a beautiful balance of flavors.
Whether you’re hosting a holiday gathering, a cozy dinner party, or just treating yourself, these crostini bring together simplicity and elegance in every bite.
Helpful Tips
- Use a firm yet ripe pear: Bosc, Bartlett, or Anjou pears hold their shape and offer the perfect sweetness.
- Toast the bread until golden and crisp: This prevents sogginess and adds a satisfying crunch.
- Drizzle just before serving: Honey and Champagne vinegar enhances the flavors without making the crostini too soft.
