Pear and Mascarpone Cheese Wrapped with Prosciutto and Balsamic Glaze

Several months ago, Dr. Sweetpea and I had an appetizer at an Italian restaurant which was absolutely mouthwatering delicious. It wasn't fried calamari, or fried ravioli, or even bruschetta. Actually. it was pears smeared with mascarpone cheese and wrapped with prosciutto. It sounds a bit bizarre, but it was really reaaaalllly good. I was able to recreate this it at home, and now I can eat this dish any day I want.

Super short post, but I'm also super tired :o(

Bosc Pears

Mascarpone Cheese

Prosciutto 

Reduced Balsamic Glaze 

Peel the pears and cut into fourths lengthwise. Pit the seeds of the pears by using a small melon baller. Smear about 1 tablespoon of mascarpone cheese on each pear. Wrap each pear/mascarpone piece with a thin slice of prosciutto. Set on a nice serving dish and drizzle balsamic glaze over the appetizers before serving.
