Learn how to make delicious Baked Pears with Feta and Cranberries. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 4 ripe pears, halved and cored
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/3 cup dried cranberries
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Feel free to substitute the walnuts with pecans for a slightly different nutty flavor. If you’re looking to cut back on sugar, you can swap honey with maple syrup for a subtle difference in sweetness.

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Place the pear halves in the baking dish, cut side up. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Evenly distribute the crumbled feta and dried cranberries into the hollowed core of each pear half.
  4. Drizzle honey over the top of the pears, ensuring it seeps into the filling.
  5. If using, sprinkle chopped walnuts over the pears for added crunch.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pears are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving warm.

I remember the first time I made this dish; the aroma wafting through the kitchen was simply irresistible, reminiscent of the times I’d watch my abuela infuse our home with scents that beckoned everyone to the table.
