Grilled Pear, Brie, and Honey Crostini Recipe
Updated March 26, 2019
Back in April, Salt Lake Magazine asked me if I would contribute a few honey recipes for the Best of the Beehive issue. Of course I said yes, I was thrilled when I received the invitation. The issue is “hot off the press” and on newsstands in Utah right now. I know not everyone lives in Utah, so I am sharing a “behind the scenes” post today. Because I love you all so much, I am also sharing my grilled pear, brie, and honey crostini with fresh rosemary recipe that is featured in the magazine.
Utah is known as the “Beehive” state. Our state insect is the bee and the beehive is also the official state seal. I am not a honey connoisseur, but I know Utah’s honey is top notch. I had a lot of fun creating honey recipes for the magazine.
We did a few test runs with the recipes and even invited family and friends over to sample. We decided to submit our three favorite honey recipes: Grilled Pear, Brie, and Honey Crostini with Fresh Rosemary, Grilled Salmon with Honey-Orange Glaze, and Honey Yogurt Cake with Fresh Berries and Whipped Cream.
The photo shoot was at Heidi Larsen’s house-Salt Lake Magazine’s Senior Art Director. She let us use her gorgeous kitchen for the shoot. We prepared and prepped the food for the shoot and let Heidi work her magic. She is an amazing photographer with fantastic style…and she has the cutest dogs. We had a wonderful day in the kitchen.
I didn’t see any of the photos until Josh brought the magazine home on Monday night. I am very pleased with the outcome. It is still kind of weird seeing myself and my recipes in a magazine, but I love it. Thanks Salt Lake Magazine for featuring my recipes. Also, a big thank you to Heidi for letting us post your stunning photos on our blog. We really enjoyed working with you.
If you live in Utah, make sure you pick up a copy today. The entire issue is a must read! You can find all three of my recipes in the magazine, but today I am sharing the grilled pear, brie, and honey crostini with fresh rosemary recipe. It is one of my favorite appetizers. This crostini is perfect for entertaining-everyone loves it.
You can follow Salt Lake Magazine on Facebook-they posted some photos of us on their page.

A perfect recipe. Rosemary adds the right touch. I think we should eat more honey and less sugar. I like honey when it’s mixed with savory.
CONGRATULATIONS!!! Fabulous recipe, and what a beautiful couple!
Congrats on having your recipe published in a magazine. You are very deserving.
Those crostini look wonderful. The honey, cheese, and pears are a wonderful combination.
What a lovely recipe – great ingredient combination!

I picked up the magazine and it’s a beautiful spread. Well done, Maria and Heidi. This crostini recipe immediately caught my eye.
Thanks so much Dara!
Y’all look so cute!!! That looks like such a fun day too. And the photos turned out lovely.
Oh my goodness. This sounds fantastic! Sure, I’ve had pear and brie crostini before but for some reason never thought to add a touch of honey – but I totally will next time! 🙂
That looks heavenly! I love pear & brie paninis but it actually never occurred to me to put them on crostini.
The photos from the shoot look great!
How fun! This crostini looks DIVINE. Girl, you guys outdid yourselves!
I dont know how I missed this post but I’m glad I found it! The crostini looks great! I make a blue cheese one with pears and sage and its one of our favorite recipes. I’ll have to give this one a try too.
Bring the magazine to Blogher Food Convention, I would love to see it. Great pics of you guys!!! 🙂
yum! I make a sorta-similar crostini but use ricotta instead of brie. Looks fabulous!
What an interesting combination with the pear, brie and honey. It sounds delicious.
I’d love for you to submit one of your beautiful photos, and a link to your post, to my new vegetarian food photo gallery showcasing beautiful and flavorful vegetarian food.
I want to eat those crostinis every single day of my life they look so good.
Tthanks post good job
When you say grill the pears do you mean on a charcoal grill? Or can that be done on the stove / oven?
You can use a grill pan inside.
I agree with everyone that these look great. But has anyone actually ever made them??
