This Pear toast can be a gorgeous breakfast, a healthy snack or a light lunch. Itβs easy to make, loaded with nutrition and a dreamy blend of fall flavors.
Prep Time 5 minutes mins
Cook Time 15 minutes mins
- 2 slices of whole-wheat sourdough or GF bread
- 3 Tbsp cashew cream cheese β or you can use your favorite vegan cream cheese*
- 1 medium pear, thinly sliced
- Olive oil
- 2 Tbsp walnuts
- 2 tsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tsp coconut nectar or maple syrup
- 1 sprig of fresh thyme, leaves only
Preheat the oven to 375 F / 190 C.
Spread cashew cream cheese across both slices of bread.
Arrange pear slices on top and brush with a little olive oil. Transfer the slices of bread to a baking sheet.
Add walnuts to that same baking sheet, place it in the oven and bake for 8 β 10 minutes, until the walnuts are golden and fragrant.
Remove the walnuts and place the toasts back in the oven for another 5 β 8 minutes, or until the pear is cooked with slightly golden edges.
While the toasts are still in the oven, chop the walnuts and make the balsamic drizzle.
In a small bowl combine balsamic vinegar and coconut nectar or maple syrup.
Remove the toasts from the oven and top with chopped walnuts, balsamic drizzle and fresh thyme leaves.
Enjoy!
