Tips:
- To select the ripest and most flavorful pears, look for those with a slightly soft neck and a deep golden color.
- If you don't have a grill pan, you can roast the pears in a regular oven at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, or until they are softened and lightly browned.
- Use a good quality prosciutto that is thinly sliced. This will help the prosciutto to crisp up nicely in the pan.
- Be careful not to overcook the prosciutto. Cook it just until it is crispy and slightly browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Serve the prosciutto-wrapped pears immediately, garnished with fresh thyme or rosemary.
Conclusion:
Prosciutto-wrapped roasted pears are a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet pears, salty prosciutto, and fresh herbs is simply irresistible. This dish is sure to impress your guests, and it's also a great way to use up any leftover pears.
