Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 3 medium beets, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
- 1 large ripe pear, cored and thinly sliced
- 4 oz blue cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 cup toasted walnuts, chopped
- Fresh arugula for serving
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss beet slices with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, until tender. Let cool.
- While beets roast, prepare the balsamic glaze: In a small saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar and honey. Simmer over medium heat until reduced by half and slightly thickened, about 8-10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Assemble the towers: On each plate, layer a beet slice, a few pear slices, and a sprinkle of blue cheese. Repeat for 2-3 layers per tower. Drizzle with balsamic glaze, top with walnuts, and serve over a bed of arugula.
