Ingredients:

2 cups edamame
240g
3 tbsp olive oil
40g
1 cup parsley
90g
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
40g
1/2 tsp salt
3g
1/4 tsp black pepper
0.52g
1 pear
180g
6 slices baguette (french bread)
580g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Bread:
- Place the baguette slices on a baking sheet. Brush each slice with a bit of olive oil (from the 3 tbsp).
- Toast the baguette slices in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and set aside.
3. Cook the Edamame:
- If your edamame is not already cooked, bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
- Add the edamame and cook for 3-5 minutes, until they are tender. Drain and allow to cool slightly.
4. Prepare the Edamame Mixture:
- In a food processor, combine the cooked edamame, spearmint leaves, grated Parmesan cheese, remaining olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
- Pulse until the mixture is well-combined but still slightly chunky. You want a spreadable consistency – not too smooth.
5. Prepare the Pear:
- Core the pear and slice it thinly. Set aside.
6. Assemble the Crostini:
- Spread a generous amount of the edamame mixture onto each toasted baguette slice.
- Top each crostini with 1-2 slices of pear.
- For an extra touch, you can sprinkle a little additional grated Parmesan on top or even a light drizzle of olive oil if desired.
7. Serve:
- Arrange the crostini on a serving platter.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and flavor.

Tips:

- Use high-quality ingredients: For the best flavor, use fresh and high-quality ingredients, particularly the parmesan cheese and olive oil.

- Prepare edamame correctly: Make sure the edamame is fully cooked and cooled before using. You can use frozen shelled edamame to save time.

- Toast the baguette slices: Toast the baguette slices until they are golden brown and crispy. This adds a delightful crunch to your crostini.

- Slice pear thinly: Slice the pear thinly to ensure even distribution and easy eating. This will also help to balance the flavors in every bite.

- Assemble right before serving: To keep the crostini crisp and fresh, assemble them right before serving. This prevents the bread from becoming soggy.

With its perfect balance of flavors and textures, the Edamame and Pear Crostini with Parmesan and Spearmint will surely become a favorite addition to your appetizer repertoire. Not only does this dish look and taste fantastic, but it also brings a fresh and innovative twist to traditional crostini. Enjoy this delightful dish at your next gathering and watch it disappear fast!
