Canapés with Pear and Cheese
Description
Perfect for the table and for drinks. During the summer pear harvest season, you can treat your family and friends to juicy canapés that pair perfectly with white wine—sparkling or dry. They turn out tender in taste and very colorful. This appetizer can also be served at a buffet, drizzling the pear slices with lemon or orange juice. Serve with herbs and sauce.

Step 2
Cut the baguette diagonally into slices — they'll look more appetizing that way. Arrange them on a plate and spread with mayonnaise of any fat content. If you prefer, you can substitute any other white sauce for the mayonnaise, but not ketchup or sour cream.

Cut the hard cheese into small sticks or slices and place on the edge of the canapés. You can use not only hard cheese but also soft cheese, such as brinza or mozzarella.

Step 4
Wash the pear in water, cut it into four parts, and remove the cores. Rinse again and slice the flesh into thin slices. Place on the other end of the canapé. Season with salt to taste. If desired, drizzle the dish with lemon juice to keep the pear flesh from browning.
