Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, divided, or to taste

  • 2 large shallots, chopped, or more to taste

  • 1 firm Bartlett pear, chopped, or more to taste

  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 1 baguette

  • 1 clove garlic, halved

  • 5 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

  1. Heat butter and 1 teaspoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; stir in shallots. Cook and stir until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and let cool, 20 to 25 minutes.

  2. Combine pears, 1 teaspoon olive oil, thyme, salt, and pepper with the shallots; stir until evenly mixed. Cover and refrigerate shallot mixture for about 2 hours.

  3. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

  4. Slice baguette into rounds. Rub with garlic and brush with 1 teaspoon olive oil. Place on a baking sheet.

  5. Toast in the preheated oven until golden, 8 to 10 minutes.

  6. Top baguette rounds with shallot mixture and Parmesan cheese.

  7. Turn oven's broiler on. Return crostini to oven and broil until golden and bubbly, 1 to 2 minutes.
