Description

A delicious and elegant Baked Pears with Blue Cheese, Berries, and Honey: warm, spiced pears topped with melting blue cheese, fresh berries, and crunchy walnuts. A perfect sweet-savory holiday treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe but firm pears, halved and cored
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of nutmeg
  • 1/3 cup blueberries
  • 1/3 cup raspberries
  • 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped toasted walnuts
  • 2 tablespoons honey, plus extra for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prep & Season Pears: Place pear halves on a baking dish, cut side up. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon and nutmeg.
  3. Bake Pears: Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until pears are tender but still hold their shape.
  4. Top & Drizzle: Top with blueberries, raspberries, blue cheese, and walnuts. Drizzle with honey and serve warm.

Notes

  • Pear Choice: Use firm, ripe Bosc or Anjou pears. If they are too soft, they will turn mushy when roasted.
  • Stability: Slicing a thin piece off the bottom of the pear halves is crucial for stability, preventing the cheese from sliding off.
  • Basting: Basting the pears halfway through roasting helps the glaze caramelize and infuse the fruit with more flavor.
  • Cheese Melt: Brie melts beautifully. If you prefer a stronger flavor, substitute with a small piece of blue cheese or Gorgonzola.
  • Nut Prep: Toasting the pistachios before chopping them will significantly enhance their flavor and crunch.
