Ingredients




2 English muffins, halved
1 inch pear sliced in ⅛ thick whole slices, core removed
4 tablespoons brie, or soft creamy goat cheese
4 slices of prosciutto
Oil and salt

Preparation

1 Preheat the broiler on high and set the oven rack to a high position. Lay the pear slices on a baking sheet. 2 Brush them with oil on both sides and sprinkle them with salt. Broil the pears for 2-4 minutes--until the edges are crisp and the flesh is tender. 3 Smear a tablespoon of soft creamy cheese across each English muffin half. Once the pears are tender, lay one on each toast. 4 Place the toasts on the baking sheet and top each with a slice of prosciutto. 5 Broil again for 2-4 minutes, until the prosciutto and muffin edges are crispy. Serve warm!
