Yogurt with Honey, Pear, and Hazelnuts
This elegant breakfast bowl perfectly captures the essence of French simplicity and thoughtful texture balancing.

Ripe, juicy pear slices bring a refreshing fruitiness, while toasted hazelnuts infuse the dish with a deep, caramelized nuttiness and a satisfying crunch. Light yet incredibly nourishing, this breakfast elevates your morning routine into a Parisian café experience.

Useful advice
Cooking tip
To maximize the hazelnut flavor, make sure to remove the bitter papery skins after toasting. Rubbing the warm nuts in a clean kitchen towel will easily release the skins.
How to serve
Serve in clear glass bowls or wide tumblers, layering the ingredients beautifully to showcase the crisp contrast of colors and textures.
How to store
Toasted hazelnuts can be stored in an airtight jar for up to 2 weeks. Once assembled, enjoy the yogurt bowl immediately to prevent the pears from browning or releasing excess water.
Note
A thick, unflavored Greek yogurt or a traditional French crème fraîche works best. Choose fragrant but firm pear varieties like Conference or Bosc.
