If you’re looking for an easy show-stopping appetizer that feels elegant but comes together in minutes, these prosciutto pear cups are the perfect bite-sized indulgence. Crispy, salty prosciutto forms the base for creamy Brie and a bright pear-arugula salad that’s lightly dressed with olive oil, thyme and a drizzle of balsamic. The result is a beautiful balance of sweet, savory and tangy flavors. —Elise Jesse, Cincinnati, Ohio
