Serves: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 ripe pear, diced
- 1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
- Cinnamon to taste (optional)
Instructions
- Wash the ripe pear thoroughly under cool running water to remove any dirt or residue.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the pear in half and remove the core and stem. Dice the pear into small, uniform cubes approximately 1/2 inch in size.
- Place the cottage cheese in a clean serving bowl, ensuring it is evenly spread across the bottom of the dish.
- Gently scatter the freshly diced pear pieces over the surface of the cottage cheese, distributing them evenly.
- Take the walnuts and roughly chop them into smaller pieces using a cutting board and knife. If desired, you can lightly toast the walnuts in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes to enhance their flavor before chopping.
- Sprinkle the chopped walnuts over the pear and cottage cheese, creating a crunchy and textural topping.
- If using, dust the surface lightly with ground cinnamon for an additional layer of warm, aromatic flavor.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the freshest taste and optimal texture of the ingredients.
Tips
- Choose a ripe, firm pear for the best texture and sweetness. Avoid overripe pears that might turn mushy.
- For an extra flavor boost, consider lightly toasting the walnuts before chopping. This simple step intensifies their nutty flavor and adds a delightful crunch.
- Use full-fat cottage cheese for a richer, creamier base that complements the pear's natural sweetness.
- If you want to elevate the dish, experiment with different spices like nutmeg or a drizzle of honey in addition to cinnamon.
- For a more visually appealing presentation, use a white or neutral-colored bowl to highlight the beautiful colors of the pear and walnuts.
- Serve immediately after preparation to maintain the perfect temperature and texture of each ingredient.
