Ingredients
2
pieces
Ripe Pears
Halved and cored, skin on; Bosc or Anjou recommended.
1/4
cup
Blue Cheese
Crumbled.
2
tablespoons
Walnuts
Chopped, lightly toasted if desired.
1
tablespoon
Honey
Plus extra for drizzling.
1
teaspoon
Fresh Thyme Leaves
Roughly chopped.
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Cut the pears in half lengthwise and scoop out the core to create a cavity for the filling.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the blue cheese, walnuts, honey, and thyme. Stir gently until mixed.
Spoon the cheese mixture into the cavity of each pear half, packing it gently.
Arrange the stuffed pears cut side up on the baking sheet. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until tender and cheese is slightly golden.
Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, drizzle with extra honey if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave.
