I needed an easy side dish one night and found this recipe in a weight watchers cookbook and thought Id give it a whirl. The saltiness of the prosciutto and the sweetness from the pear and honey and tang from the blue cheese is amazing! Brilliant! Mmm drooling. Only 4 points plus per 2 crostinis!
Pear, Prosciutto and Blue Cheese Crostini
1 large ripe pear, quartered, cored and cut into 16 slices
6 (1/2 inch thick) slices whole wheat baguette, toasted
2 thin slices prosciutto, quartered
2 tsp honey
1 oz blue cheese, crumbled (my fav is point reyes)
Spray a large nonstick skillet with nonstick spray and set over medium heat. Add pear slices in a single layer and cook until lightly browned, about 2 minutes on each side.
Place 2 pear slices on each baguette slice. Tope evely with prosciutto, sprinkle with blue cheese and drizzle with honey. EnJOY!
