Instructions
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 as they can burn easily. Transfer to small bowl.
d) Quarter the pear lengthways (no need to peel), remove the core and chop into small pieces.
a) Return the (now empty) frying pan to medium-high heat and add a drizzle of oil.
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 triangles on a baking tray and drizzle with olive oil.
e) Bake on the top shelf of your oven until golden, 6-8 mins.
a) While the ciabatta bake, pop the goat's cheese into a large bowl. Add the milk (see pantry for amount - you may not need it all) a little at a time and whisk until the cheese has softened and is slightly fluffy.
b) Season to taste with salt and pepper.
c) Spread the whipped goat's cheese over the baked ciabatta triangles.
