Sliced Pear, Walnut & Blue Cheese (or Brie) Bites

Elegant, no-cook, and full of seasonal comfort.

Ingredients (organic when possible):

• 2–3 ripe pears (Bosc or Anjou are great)
• ½ cup crumbled blue cheese or thin slices of brie
• ¼–⅓ cup lightly toasted walnuts
• 1–2 tsp honey or balsamic glaze
• Optional: thyme leaves or cracked black pepper

Instructions:

1. Core pears and slice vertically into thin ¼” wedges.
2. Lay slices on a platter.
3. Add a bit of cheese to each slice (blue crumbles or brie slivers).
4. Sprinkle with toasted walnuts.
5. Drizzle with honey or balsamic.
6. Finish with thyme or black pepper.

Variations:

• More savoury: Skip the honey; add olive oil + flaky salt.
• More festive: Add pomegranate seeds or candied pecans.
• Dairy-free: Use a cashew cheese or hummus.
