Categories     appetizer

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 Bosc pears, peeled, halved and cored
Extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup hazelnuts
8 ounces ripe Taleggio cheese, outer rind removed
1 large head romaine lettuce, tough outer leaves and leathery tops removed, cut lengthwise into quarters with the stalk left intact
Kosher salt
1/4 cup champagne vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Toss the pears with olive oil and roast for 30 minutes. Turn the pears over halfway through cooking.
  • Roast the hazelnuts with the pears for 5 to 6 minutes. Coarsely chop the hazelnuts and set aside.
  • Place the Taleggio in a heatproof dish or pan and toss into the oven for 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Heat a grill pan to medium-high heat. (If you don't have a grill pan and are using a regular grill, put foil on the grill grates.) Toss the romaine quarters in olive oil and salt; grill until slightly charred and wilted, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
  • Place one romaine wedge on each plate. Thinly slice each pear half and fan over the romaine wedges. Spoon some melted Taleggio on top and sprinkle with hazelnuts.
  • Whisk together the champagne vinegar and 1/4 cup olive oil, and season with salt. Drizzle each salad with a little vinaigrette. Serve immediately.
