Top Bartlett pear slices with baked pancetta, crumbled goat cheese, and a drizzle of honey for an easy, salty-sweet appetizer recipe that tastes delicious and looks gorgeous.

Ingredients

12 thin slices pancetta (about 1/3 lb.)

1 Bartlett pear

1/2 (4-oz.) package goat cheese, crumbled

Freshly cracked pepper

Honey

Garnish: fresh thyme sprigs

Preparation

1. Arrange pancetta slices in a single layer on an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet.

2. Bake at 450° for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden. Transfer to a paper towel-lined wire rack using a spatula. Let stand 10 minutes or until crisp.
