Pears Baked with Blue Cheese

Our son-in-law hails from Oregon. His dad, Bob Logue and his wife Anne, generously send us a box of pears at Christmas from the McCarthy Family Farm. Clearly marked as fragile, the postmistress, Heidi, remarked, “pears!” For this recipe, I chose the Columbia red D’Anjourpears, grown in Hood River, Oregon. When I travel, I buy honey. For this recipe I chose a honey I purchased on Lopez Island. The pecans I roasted. The crumbled blue cheese I ordered online from the Misfits Market. I have ordered a selection of cheeses twice from them and was most satisfied. This is more of a savory treat.

Ingredients

Columbia red D’Anjoupears, 2

Blue cheese crumbled, 2-3 tablespoons

Roasted pecans, chopped, ¼ cup

Honey, 3 tablespoons

Parchment paper, cut to fit baking sheet

Preparation

Cut the parchment paper to fit a small baking sheet. Slice the pear in half. Then, from each half, make 3 slices. Cut out the seeds and hard core. In a single layer, place the pear slices on top of the parchment paper. Using your fingertips, carefully place crumbled blue cheese in the center of each pear slice. Bake 20 minutes in a 325 degree F oven. Remove from oven. While still warm, use fingertips to add chopped roasted pecans. Then, using a small spoon, drizzle honey over top.
