Prep and Toast
1

a) Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Halve the ciabattas, then halve them again into triangles.

b) Roughly chop the walnuts. Heat a small frying pan on medium heat (no oil).

c) Once hot, add the walnuts and dry-fry, stirring regularly, until lightly toasted, 2-3 mins. TIP: Watch them like a hawk, they burn easily. Transfer to a plate.

d) Quarter the pear lengthways, remove the core and chop into small pieces.

Cook the Pear
2

a) Heat a drizzle of oil in the (now empty) frying pan on medium-high heat.

b) When hot, add the pear and stir-fry until softened and golden, 4-5 mins.

c) When cooked, remove from the heat.

d) Meanwhile, pop your ciabatta pieces on a baking tray and drizzle with olive oil. Bake on the top shelf of your oven until the ciabatta is golden, 6-8 mins.

Finish the Bruschetta
3

a) Meanwhile, pop the goat's cheese into a bowl. Add the milk (see pantry for amount) a little at a time and whisk until the cheese has softened and is slightly fluffy (you may not need it all).

b) Season to taste with salt and lots of black pepper (if you'd like).

c) Spread the whipped goats cheese over the ciabatta triangles.

d) Top with the pear and a scattering of walnuts. Finish with a drizzle of balsamic glaze.

Enjoy!

Customer reviews

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: Delicious combination of creamy goat's cheese, sweet pear, and tangy balsamic glaze; some found it slightly unbalanced.
  • Ease of prep: Quick and simple to prepare, making it ideal for a weekend lunch or party appetiser.
  • Suggestions: Consider adding more acidity or increasing the pear-to-cheese ratio for better balance. Try variations with peaches or apples.
  • Portions: Generous amount of toppings, though some wished for a larger pear or more cheese.
