Recipe: Pear, ricotta and chestnut bruschetta

If melon or prawn cocktail isn’t your thing, this is the perfect starter to kick off your festive feast

Slices of crusty bread topped with creamy ricotta, sweet and juicy pear slices, and rich, nutty goodness come together in a blend of textures and tastes in this M&S recipe.

Serves 2

Ingredients:

  • M&S Collection sourdough, cut into 4 thick slices
  • A handful whole chestnuts
  • 1 Tub (250g) ricotta
  • Knob butter
  • 3 Pears
  • Honey, for drizzling
  • Thyme, for garnishing

Method:

  • Toast the slices of sourdough
  • Crumble the chestnuts into a bowl and add the ricotta. Season with salt and lots of black pepper, then stir to combine.
  • In a large frying pan, melt the butter over a medium heat.
  • Cut the pears into wedges and add to the pan along with a drizzle of honey.
  • Cook the pears for a few minutes, until caramelised.
  • Spread the ricotta mix on top of the toast, then spoon over the pears.
  • Finish with a drizzle of honey and fresh thyme leaves.
