One of those combined-taste, greek-y, spring-is-coming things that I LOVE as a dinner to eat in the sunshine in the back yard (even if I’m still wearing a coat).
It’s also ultra-easy to put together. Use canned or fresh pears - if you use canned, save a little (2-4 tablespoons) or so of the juice. If you use fresh, slice them into 4-6 sections.
You’ll need:
1 can sliced or 3 fresh, sliced pears
1 package crumbled feta cheese
fresh mint leaves (just a few sprigs, depending on your taste)
2-4 tablespoons canned pear juice or 4 tablespoons water and 1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon butter
Cut the tablespoon of butter into small chunks and spread it over the bottom of a small glass baking dish (8×8 or a round pie pan). Spread the pears over the butter and pour the canned juice or water and sugar over the pears.
Arrange the mint leaves around the pears. Sprinkle the feta over the entire conglomeration. Cover with foil.
Bake at 250 for 10-20 minutes, or until pears are warmed through and the feta is beginning to melt.
Serve warm as an appetizer or dessert.
