An Elegant Amuse-Bouche
Almost everything sounds better in French…the language has that certain je ne sais quoi. While an appetizer sounds fairly straightforward, an amuse-bouche sounds positively delightful.
According to Urban Dictionary, an amuse-bouche is “a small appetizer meant to tease the palate before the meal.” It is a single, bite sized hors d’oeurve that is served as a compliment from the chef. I enjoy serving delicious bites like this and will be serving this Pear with Prosciutto and Blue Cheese amuse-bouche next week for Thanksgiving. The combination of flavors is positively divine and this recipe takes 10 minutes to prepare. I have served this a number of occasions and it always receives rave reviews.

This recipe is perfect to take to holiday gatherings or serve for anything you are hosting! It looks especially pretty on this cheese board featured in our Marble and Copper Home Accessory post and would make an excellent gift.
