Ingredients
- 1 French baguette, cut diagonally into (½ inch) slices
- ¾-1 cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese (about 3 ounces grated cheese)
- 2 Bartlett pears, cores removed and thinly sliced
- 1 cup toasted walnuts, roughly chopped
- Hot honey, for drizzling
- Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling on top
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375ºF and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Use a microplane or the small side of a box grater to finely grate Parmigiano Reggiano cheese directly onto the parchment paper in an even layer.
- Bake the crostini: Lay the baguette slices directly on top of the grated cheese and bake for 8-10 minutes or until the cheese is golden brown.
- Top crostini: Once they’re cool enough to touch, flip the bread over and top each piece with one to two slices of pear, a few pieces of toasted walnuts, a drizzle of hot honey, and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt. Serve immediately.
