Made with walnuts when I served it my sister said it was good but she'd like to try a little different went I asked how she said a balsamic glaze happened to have ithe on hand and it was delicious.
Thanksgiving Pot-Luck Hit I attend a large community pot-luck for Thanksgiving and it is always a challenge to come up with a dish that is different from the others easy to make and special for the holidays. The Roasted Pears with Brie and Pistachios hit the spot. I cut the pears into quarters to provide more portions and the three dishes I brought were gone in no time. Now people are asking for the recipe....which I am not so sure if I want to share because I will need to come up with a different dish next year! (Eating Well chefs - you have a year to come up with a recipe to top the Roasted Pears!) Pros: Easy unusual taste and delicious
Not as delicious as I thought I really thought these pears would be fabulous. They were good but not great. They needed something but I am not sure what. The pear flavor got a little lost. Pros: Fairly easy to prepare light appetizer fare Cons: I felt that the pears were missing something.
Unbelievable Made my own honey mustard from Dijon. My Bosc were slightly ripe so I increase cooking time slightly. My husband who does not eat pears LOVED it. I will make this again! Oh yeah I used preroasted pistachios. Pros: Can be you'd as first course Cons: None
Great Appetizer Guaranteed to Impress Made this appetizer after I had it at another dinner party. Very easy to make and everyone was raving about how good it was. Served it on top of a green salad with shallot dressing. Pros: Easy
Delicious with Roasted Duck! We made this to go with a roasted duck at Christmas and it came out wonderfully -- I will definitely make this again! I used Bosc pears that were at their peak flavor but still firm. I also used a good quality brie cheese. The other sides included a tart homemade orange cranberry sauce fresh bread and green beans. Yum! Pros: Easy and delicious Cons: Flavor may vary with the pears and cheese...
