Cheese Dish with Pears from the Ardennes

150 g – 5,25 oz. goat cheese
4 slices smoked ham (from the Ardennes)
butter
1/2 crinkly lettuce
2 tablespoons wine vinegar
1 large, solid pear
2 tablespoons sugar
2 slices bread
2 tablespoons chives
salt and pepper

Divide the cheese into 4 parts and roll each part into a slice of smoked ham. Put some butter on the cheese rolls, then put them 5-8 minutes into a preheated oven of 355° F.

Meanwhile, wash the lettuce, tear it apart and mix with the wine vinegar. Add pepper and salt to taste and arrange on 4 platters.

Peel the pear and cut into 16 parts. Bake in butter, pour sugar over it and let colour for a while.

Remove the crusts from the bread and cut into 1/2 x 1/2 inch squares. Bake in butter until golden, then put on the salad. Put the cheese rolls in the middle of each plate and decorate with 4 pieces of pear. Sprinkle with chives and serve with a glass of white wine.

Makes 4 servings.
