The warm baked pears paired with the tart berries, creamy blue cheese, crunchy walnuts, and a drizzle of honey create a dish that is both elegant and delicious.

Ingredients

Scale

Ripe Pears:

  • 4 ripe pears, halved and cored

Berries:

  • ½ cup mixed fresh berries (blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries)

Walnuts:

  • ½ cup walnuts, roughly chopped

Blue Cheese:

  • ¼ cup crumbled blue cheese

Honey:

  • 2 tablespoons honey

Others:

  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • Fresh thyme sprigs (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Prepare the Pears: Place the halved and cored pears, cut-side up, on the baking sheet. Brush each pear with melted butter to give them a golden finish as they bake.
  3. Bake the Pears: Bake the pears for 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender but still hold their shape. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.
  4. Add the Toppings:
    • Top with Berries & Blue Cheese: Evenly sprinkle the mixed berries over the pears, then add crumbled blue cheese on top. The warmth of the pears will soften the cheese slightly.
    • Add Walnuts & Honey: Sprinkle chopped walnuts and drizzle honey over each pear for added sweetness and crunch.
  5. Serve: Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs for an earthy touch if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • You can customize the toppings based on your preferences. Try using different cheeses or nuts for variety.
  • This dish pairs well with a glass of dessert wine or a cup of hot tea.
