Yields: 2 large or 4 small toasts
Ingredients
  • 2 large or 4 small slices sourdough bread
  • 4 oz goat cheese
  • 2 small pears, thinly sliced (Bartlett and Bosc both work)
  • balsamic reduction or balsamic vinegar, for drizzling
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven's broiler and position a rack close to the top of your oven. Whether you use the low or high setting will depend on your broiler; I started off with low.
  2. Soften the goat cheese by microwaving for 10-15 seconds. Spread on bread and top with slices of pear.
  3. Place directly on top oven rack. If your pears are especially juicy, you may want to position a baking sheet on a lower rack to catch any drips. Broil for 3-5 minutes, until bread is toasted and pears are juicy. You can adjust the broiler setting at any time - I did 3 minutes on low broil and then 2 minutes on high.
  4. Remove toasts from oven and drizzle with balsamic. Enjoy hot!
