Prosciutto Wrapped Blue Cheese Pear Bites ~ Sumptuous Spoonfuls #appetizer #recipe


Continuing on with my pear craze, I had to try making an appetizer with my pretty pears, and I thought tangy blue cheese, salty prosciutto, and bitter arugula would be a wonderful contrast with the sweet, juicy pears.

I ate these little bites “raw”, but I think if you roasted them a bit, they would be even more marvelous.  They are certainly easy to make and would make an elegant party appetizer. Who says party appetizers have to be savory? These little pear bites are both sweet and savory!

I made this recipe, as an appetiser for my daughter’s baby shower, and as you can probably tell, it was a H U G E hit! I paired with a salad with a Dijon dressing and my guests where wild about it and only asking me for the recipe! Truly delicious!
Thank you so much, please keep up the ‘Pear Obsession’, trust me, we are right behind you! :D!

That makes me soooo happy, Gabriela! I’m glad your guests enjoyed them and yes, I will continue with the “pear obsession”.

Hi ther

These look fab. Can these be made in advance if you dip the pear in lemon juice to avoid discoloration and will the arugula wilt if made early in the day of the party? Thanks

Hi Sandra,

Thank you so much for the kind comment. These little bies are delicious and very easy to make! I think they really would be best made the day of the party, but if you put them in a sealed container in the fridge until serving time, they should be fine. Good luck with your party and I hope you enjoy the pear bites.

Take care,
Ann from Sumptuous Spoonfuls
