Ingredients
- 12 pieces Pancetta slices (thinly sliced)
- 150 grams Soft goat cheese
- 1 medium Pear (ripe but firm)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 4 sprigs Fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
Place the pancetta slices into the cups of a mini muffin tin, pressing them gently to form little bowls. If the slices are too large, you can trim them slightly to fit.
Step 3
Bake the pancetta cups in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until they become crispy and golden brown. Keep an eye on them after 8 minutes to prevent burning.
Step 4
While the pancetta crisps are baking, prepare the pear by peeling, coring, and dicing it into small cubes.
Step 5
In a small bowl, mix the diced pear with 1 tablespoon of honey to add a touch of sweetness.
Step 6
Remove the pancetta crisps from the oven and let them cool slightly in the tin for 3-5 minutes to firm up before carefully transferring them to a plate.
Step 7
Fill each pancetta crisp with about 1 teaspoon of goat cheese.
Step 8
Top the goat cheese with a small spoonful of the honeyed pear mixture.
Step 9
Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of honey over the assembled crisps for extra sweetness, if desired.
Step 10
Garnish with fresh thyme leaves for a hint of herbal flavor and serve immediately.
