A nice appetizer to have before a heavy meal, I love making these in the summer as a side for a none cooked meal.

Yield 2 dozen appetizers.

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 large firm pear, peeled, seeded
4 ounces goat cheese (room temperature)
4 ounces cream cheese (room temperature)
1/4 cup toasted walnut halves
4 Belgian endive

Steps:

  • Cool in refrigerator.
  • Mix goat cheese and cream cheese in a mixer or food processor until well blended.
