Servings: 1
Total preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: approximately 8 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 small pear
• 1 tsp (5 g) butter
• 2 slices whole-grain bread
• ½ cup (110 g) light ricotta
• 1 tbsp (5 g) chopped walnuts
• 1 tbsp (15 mL) maple syrup
• Ground cinnamon, to taste

Preparation

1. Cut the pear in half and remove the core. Cut each half into slices approximately 5 mm thick, then cut the slices in half.
2. Melt the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
3. Add the pear pieces and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until lightly golden. Gently shake the pan from time to time to prevent them from sticking.
4. Meanwhile, toast the bread slices until lightly golden and crisp.
5. Carefully turn the pear pieces over and continue cooking for 2 to 4 minutes, until golden and tender while still holding their shape. Sprinkle with cinnamon toward the end of cooking.
6. Remove the skillet from the heat and set aside.
7. Spread the ricotta over the two slices of toasted bread. Top with the warm pears, then sprinkle with walnuts and additional cinnamon, if desired.
8. Drizzle the maple syrup over the toasts and serve immediately.
