Spiced Pear and Pomegranate Crostini

Ingredients

• 12 Martin’s Party Potato Rolls, halved

• 2-3 Tablespoons Olive Oil

• 2 Large Pears, peeled and diced

• 1 Tablespoon Butter

• 3 1/2 Teaspoons Cinnamon, divided

• 1/4 Cup Maple Syrup

• 1/2 Teaspoon Balsamic Vinegar

• 1 Cup Pomegranate Arils

• 6 Ounces Cream Cheese

Directions

1. Using a rolling pin, gently flatten the roll halves. Use a knife to trim the edges so they are clean squares.

2. Brush the cut side of each roll half with olive oil. Lightly toast in a 350° oven for 5-6 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, melt butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.

4. Add the pears, ½ tsp. cinnamon, and syrup and saute for 3 minutes, until fragrant and warm.

5. Stir in the balsamic vinegar and pomegranate arils.

6. Add remaining 3 tsp. cinnamon to the cream cheese and stir to combine. Generously spread each roll with cream cheese mixture. Set aside.

7. Spoon fruit mixture on top of prepared roll halves using a slotted spoon, then lightly drizzle the tops with a small amount of the syrup mixture.
