Yield Makes 6 dessert servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (15-oz) container whole-milk ricotta
5 tablespoons mild honey
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
3 firm-ripe Anjou or Bosc pears, peeled if desired
1/3 cup pine nuts, lightly toasted
Garnish: fresh thyme sprigs

Steps:

  • Stir together ricotta, 2 tablespoons honey, thyme, 1 tablespoon basil, 1 tablespoon mint, and a pinch of salt.
  • Halve pears lengthwise and scoop out core with a melon-ball cutter or spoon. Leaving stem end intact, cut each pear half lengthwise into 1/8-inch-thick slices and gently press against a work surface to create a fan shape.
  • Divide cheese mixture among plates and top with a pear half. Drizzle remaining 3 tablespoons honey over pears and sprinkle evenly with pine nuts and remaining tablespoon each of basil and mint.

The pears were a bit too firm for my liking. I would recommend cooking them for a few minutes longer.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less honey or omitting it altogether.

Great recipe! I used fresh thyme and rosemary from my garden and it was delicious. The honey added a nice touch of sweetness.
