Instructions

1. Cut the cheese into 4-inch square pieces about 1/2-inch thick. Press into the pine nuts so that they adhere on 1 side and set aside.
2. Heat a 10-inch nonstick pan over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons butter. When the butter is sizzling, place the cheese pieces in the pan nut side down and cook until golden brown on the nut side, about 3 minutes.
3. Remove and place each piece on a separate plate, nut side up. Add the cinnamon, amaretto, and remaining 2 teaspoons butter to the pan and reduce by half over high heat, about 2 minutes. Pour the sauce over the cheese and serve immediately.
