Ingredients

Scale

Pear & Cheese Skewers

  • 2 ripe Bosc or Bartlett pears, washed, sliced into quarters, and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1 wheel Brie cheese, cut into 1/2-inch cubes with rind on
  • 2 cups baby arugula leaves
  • 1 cup walnuts, broken into pieces (optional: substitute with pecans or omit for nut-free)
  • 1/2 cup balsamic glaze

Instructions

  1. Prepare Pears: Wash two ripe Bosc or Bartlett pears thoroughly, slice them into quarters, and then cut the quarters into 1/2-inch cubes to create bite-sized pieces perfect for skewering.
  2. Cut Brie Cheese: Slice the Brie wheel into 1/2-inch cubes, ensuring the rind remains on to help with handling and maintain the shape on the skewers.
  3. Assemble Skewers: Take your skewers and thread a cube of pear first, followed by a few leaves of baby arugula, then a cube of Brie. Repeat this pattern until all ingredients are used up, creating colorful and flavorful skewers.
  4. Add Crunchy Walnuts: Press walnut pieces gently onto the Brie cubes on the skewers to add a satisfying crunch and nutty flavor complementing the soft cheese and sweet pear.
  5. Finish with Balsamic Glaze: Just before serving, drizzle the assembled skewers generously with balsamic glaze to introduce a sweet and tangy finish that ties all the flavors together beautifully.

Notes

  • You can substitute walnuts with pecans or omit nuts entirely for a nut-free version.
  • Keep the Brie rind on to help the cheese hold its shape on the skewers and add a slight earthy flavor.
  • These skewers are best served fresh to maintain crispness of the arugula and texture contrast.
  • Use balsamic glaze, not regular balsamic vinegar, for a thicker consistency and sweeter taste.
  • Ideal for easy entertaining or as a sophisticated appetizer for parties.
