Here is the 2nd new holiday appetizer as requested by my readers.
Speck Wrapped Pears with Manchego Cheese.
What is Speck?
Speck is smoked prosciutto and can easily be found now at most grocery stores in the deli section.
Manchego Cheese?
It is a hard cheese made from sheeps milk so it is a really nice substitute for those with dairy issues. Its flavour resembles a mild parmesan.
I knew you would all have questions about those ingredients so it’s better to answer it right away.
This is another quick and easy appetizer recipe for the holidays.
What I like about this recipe is that it is sweet, a bit smoky and also a bit salty. It pairs really nicely with white wine too.
