Roasted Cinnamon Pear Bruschetta​:

Ingredients 

  • 1 whole grain baguette, sliced into rounds
  • 2 pears, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • pinch of nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons Cinnamon Pear Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1/2 cup mascarpone (or substitute with cream cheese)

  1. Preheat oven to 400. Lay baguette rounds on a baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and toasted. Set aside.
