This dish is perfect for a light lunch or appetizer. I love serving it with a side of arugula salad. The bitterness of the arugula pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the pears and the saltiness of the cheese.

I didn't have any Parmigiano-Reggiano on hand, so I used a hard goat cheese instead. It worked perfectly! I also used a honey-balsamic vinegar, which gave the dish a nice sweet and tangy flavor.

I made this recipe with Asian pears, and they were delicious! I also used a white balsamic vinegar, which gave the dish a more delicate flavor. I highly recommend trying this recipe with different types of pears and vinegars.

I had some trouble getting the pears to cook evenly. I found that slicing them into thinner slices helped. I also had to cook them for a few extra minutes. But once I got the cooking time down, this dish was perfect. I highly recommend it!

This dish is perfect for a light lunch or appetizer. I love pairing it with a glass of Prosecco. The sparkling wine brings out the sweetness of the pears and the saltiness of the cheese.
