Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ripe pears, halved and cored
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- ½ cup mixed fresh berries (blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries)
- ½ cup walnuts, roughly chopped
- ¼ cup crumbled blue cheese
- 2 tablespoons honey
- Fresh thyme sprigs (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it.
- Arrange the pears on the baking sheet, cut-side up. Brush each pear with melted butter.
- Bake the pears for 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender but still retain their shape. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
- Top the pears evenly with mixed berries, crumbled blue cheese, chopped walnuts, and a drizzle of honey.
- Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs, if desired, and serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
For extra flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg before baking the pears. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
