Learn how to make delicious Roasted Pears with Blue Cheese and Walnuts. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.
Total Time:45 minutes
Yield:4 servings
Ingredients
4 ripe pears, halved and cored
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese (substitute with goat cheese if preferred)
1/2 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil with a pinch of salt and pepper. Brush the pear halves with this mixture, ensuring they are well coated.
Place the pears cut side up on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly golden.
Remove the pears from the oven and sprinkle the blue cheese evenly across each pear half. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt slightly.
Meanwhile, in a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the walnuts until fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Drizzle the roasted pears with honey and top with toasted walnuts. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves if using.
Serve warm and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors.
