Instructions

1
1. Toast the 4 bread slices in a large skillet or toaster until golden and crisp. If using a skillet, add half of the olive oil and cook the bread for 1 to 2 minutes per side over medium heat.
2
2. In a small bowl, mix the goat cheese, Greek yogurt, a pinch of salt, and black pepper until smooth and spreadable.
3
3. In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil, walnuts, maple syrup, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the walnuts are glossy and lightly caramelized. Remove from the heat.
4
4. Toss the pear and celery with the lemon juice and a pinch of salt to keep them fresh and well seasoned.
5
5. Spread the goat cheese mixture over each toast. Top with the dressed pear and celery.
6
6. Finish with the spicy maple walnuts and chopped chives. Serve immediately.

Chef tips

For extra crunch, toast the bread slightly more than usual. The pear should be firm so it holds its shape on the toast.

Substitutions

You can use cream cheese instead of goat cheese, pecans instead of walnuts, or honey instead of maple syrup. For a more herbal finish, swap the chives for parsley or dill.
