🧀 Beetroot, Blue Cheese & Pear Stack with Walnuts and Balsamic Glaze
🧾 Ingredients (serves 2–3)
Main Layers • 2–3 medium beets, roasted or boiled, peeled and sliced into rounds • 120 g blue cheese (such as Roquefort, Gorgonzola, or Danish Blue), crumbled or sliced • 1 ripe pear, sliced lengthwise into thin wedges • A handful of walnuts, lightly toasted • Fresh thyme or microgreens for garnish

⸻
👨🍳 Instructions
1. Prepare the Beets • Roast the beets at 200°C (400°F) for about 40–50 minutes until tender, or boil them until soft. • Let cool completely, then peel and slice into even, thick rounds.
2. Make the Balsamic Glaze • In a small saucepan, bring balsamic vinegar and honey to a simmer. • Reduce over low heat until thick and syrupy (about 10 minutes). Set aside to cool.
3. Assemble the Stack • On a plate, place one beet slice, add a layer of crumbled blue cheese, then another beet slice. • Repeat to create 3–4 layers, finishing with cheese on top. • Arrange pear slices vertically at the top to resemble a “crown.” 👑 • Drizzle with balsamic glaze.
4. Garnish • Sprinkle toasted walnuts and fresh thyme around the plate. • Add a drizzle of olive oil or the optional lemon-Dijon dressing for extra depth.

🌿 Tips • You can use goat cheese instead of blue cheese for a milder flavor. • Try golden beets for a colorful variation. • Serve slightly chilled or at room temperature with a glass of white wine or sparkling prosecco. 🍷
