→ Main Ingredients
01 -
4 ripe pears, such as Bosc or Anjou
02 -
4 oz blue cheese, crumbled
03 -
2 tablespoons chopped walnuts or pecans
04 -
1 tablespoon honey
05 -
1 teaspoon lemon juice
→ Optional Garnish
06 -
A handful of fresh arugula or microgreens
# Instructions:
01 -
Wash and dry the pears. Slice them in half lengthwise. Use a melon baller or a small spoon to remove the core and create a small hollow in the center of each pear half. Brush the cut sides of the pears with lemon juice to prevent browning.
02 -
In a mixing bowl, combine the crumbled blue cheese, chopped nuts, and 1 teaspoon of honey. Mix until evenly combined.
03 -
Spoon the blue cheese mixture into the hollows of the pear halves, pressing gently to fill them.
04 -
Arrange the stuffed pears on a serving platter. Drizzle with the remaining honey for a glossy finish. Garnish with fresh arugula or microgreens, if desired, for a pop of color.
# Notes:
01 -
Choose pears that are ripe but firm enough to hold their shape.
02 -
Swap walnuts or pecans for almonds or hazelnuts for a customized flavor.
03 -
Prepare the filling in advance and assemble the pears just before serving.
