Delicious! Easy! Quick! Make ahead! Only 3 ingredients! I made this appetizer for a luncheon with 12 of my international friends. Everyone took a bite and said yum! What is this? I want the recipe! The sweetness of the pear, the savory of the sage and the salty crispy prosciutto make one delicious flavorful bite. I will make this again and again!

Simple. Elegant. Tasty. What else could you ask for? The sage is surprisingly wonderful with the pear and prosciutto.

This is the easiest recipe on the planet for the raves it receives!!

I love how simple this recipe is! It just goes to show that when you use good ingredients, you don’t need to complicate it. It’s super-elegant, super-easy, super-fast, and has quite a pay-off. Although, I’ve found that folks who are used to eating junk tend not to appreciate the flavor combination. If you haven’t made this before, I recommend choosing pears that will stand up to the roasting process. Otherwise, they can be too soft when you serve. Your grocer should be able to help you with that

I made these for a cocktail party and they were a hit! The flavor combination was fantastic. I cooked them a little longer than suggested.

This combination of flavors was fantastic. It is such a healthy alternative to most fatty appetizer recipes and fits in well for most occasions. Every one loved this!!!

I didn’t cook it long enough, stil it wasn’t as good as I thought it would be. I won’t make it again. Hardly anyone tried them at the party!
Lisa Miller
The flavor from the sage is too overpowering and earthy. I thought the roasted pear on its own without and sage or prosciutto was better.
