Ingredients
  

For The Asian Pear Compote:

  • 1 pound Asian pears peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice

  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1 lemon (1 tablespoon lemon juice)

For The Whipped Goat Cheese:

  • 4 ounces fresh goat cheese (aka chèvre) room temperature

For The Biroche Toast:

Instructions
