Would you Eat Baked Pears with Blue Cheese, Walnuts, and Honey 燎
Ingredients:
– 4 ripe but firm pears Bosc or Anjou work best
– 1 cup crumbled blue cheese
– 1 cup roughly chopped walnuts
– 2 tablespoons honey
– 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
– Fresh thyme leaves optional, for garnish
– Freshly cracked black pepper optional, for a touch of heat
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350F 175C and lightly grease a baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
2. Prepare the Pears: Slice the pears in half lengthwise and carefully remove the cores with a melon baller or spoon to create a small cavity in each half.
3. Assemble the Pears: Place the pear halves, cut side up, in the greased baking dish. Fill each cavity generously with blue cheese and walnuts.
4. Add Butter and Honey: Dot each pear with small pieces of butter and then drizzle honey all over. For a hint of spice, you can sprinkle freshly cracked black pepper on top.
5. Bake the Pears: Bake the pears in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and the blue cheese starts to melt. Keep an eye on the walnuts to prevent them from burning.
6. Serve: Allow the pears to cool slightly after baking. Drizzle with a bit more honey if desired, garnish with fresh thyme, and serve warm for a delightful treat.
