Blue Cheese Stuffed Roasted Pears with Honeyed Walnuts

Ingredients

2 ripe but firm pears (Bosc or Anjou work well), halved and cored

4 oz creamy blue cheese (or Gorgonzola)
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
2 tbsp honey (plus more for drizzling)
1 tbsp unsalted butter
Fresh rosemary (for garnish)
Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2
Prepare the pears: Slice pears in half and gently scoop out the core with a spoon to create a small cavity.
3
Roast the pears: Place pear halves on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cut side up. Brush lightly with melted butter and roast for 15–20 minutes, or until tender but still holding their shape.
4
Make the filling: While pears are roasting, mix the blue cheese with 1 tbsp honey in a small bowl until slightly softened and creamy.
5
Caramelize the walnuts: In a small skillet, toast walnuts over medium heat for 2–3 minutes. Add 1 tbsp honey and a pinch of sea salt. Stir until coated, then remove from heat.
6
Stuff & serve: Remove pears from the oven, spoon the blue cheese mixture into each cavity, and top with honeyed walnuts. Drizzle with extra honey and garnish with a sprig of rosemary. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Note

You can easily customize this recipe by swapping the walnuts with other nuts for a unique twist! Try toasted pecans for a rich, buttery flavor, crushed pistachios for a pop of color and crunch, or slivered almonds for a delicate nutty bite. Lightly toast the nuts before adding for extra aroma and texture. Perfect for matching different tastes or seasonal vibes!
