Ingredients

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.
