Grilled Pears with Herb & Cheese Topping (featuring Laughing Cow White Cheddar Cheese)
This is dessert for grown-ups! The sweetness of the grilled pear meets the tangy punch of Laughing Cow cheese wedges and the freshness of basil in the ricotta topping. Then we add CRUNCH with sliced almonds and finally a drizzle of caramel. This dessert hits all the pleasure sensors.

Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Combine olive oil and butter in a bowl then, using a food brush, brush the cut side of the pear and grill about 7 minutes or until tender and it’s developed grill marks.
  2. In a bowl, combine ricotta and Laughing Cow cheeses and mix thoroughly. Add basil and mix again. Refrigerate mixture until ready to serve.
  3. Set a dry skillet (meaning no non-stick cooking spray) over medium heat and allow it to get hot. Add almond slices and gently toss about 3 minutes or until slices darken and you can smell the almonds. Remove from heat.
  4. To assemble the dessert, place a pear on a plate, fill the cavity with the ricotta/cheddar mixture, drizzle with caramel and top with toasted almonds!
