Easily served as a elegant starter — or as a main dish alongside a salad of winter greens — this Pear and Goat Cheese Bites recipe combines warm, crispy phyllo, an indulgent filling, and a drizzle of hot honey. Beware! You’ll have trouble limiting yourself to just one. We recommend a glass of chilled mineral-inflected rosé as a companion to this lovely dish.
