Directions
- Rinse the pear, dry it well, and cut it into thin slices.
- Toast the slices of whole grain bread until they reach your preferred level of toastiness.
- While the bread is toasting, roughly chop the pecan halves.
- Spread a generous layer of ricotta over each slice of toasted bread.
- Drizzle a small amount of honey over the ricotta.
- Top the ricotta with the pear slices.
- Scatter the chopped pecans over the pears.
- Finish with a light pinch of cinnamon and serve.
Two tips
- Prep tip: slice the pear ahead of time and refrigerate to keep it from browning for up to a day.
- Serving idea: swap pecans for walnuts to change the crunch while keeping the flavors similar.
