Equipment

  • Oven
  • Cast Iron Skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 3 large Bosc pears
  • 1-2 teaspoon olive oil
  • 2.5 oz blue cheese (Danish blue cheese, crumbled)
  • ⅓ cup walnuts, chopped
  • 3 sprigs fresh thyme removed from the stem
  • 1-2 tablespoon honey
  • ½ teaspoon Aleppo pepper
  • flaky salt, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400℉.
  • Slice the pears in half lengthwise and remove the core and seeds. Place in a cast iron skillet (or a baking dish), cut side up. Drizzle with the olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. Turn the pears cut side down.
  • Transfer the pears to the oven and bake for 15 minutes.
  • Remove the pears, turn them cut side up and stuff with the blue cheese, walnuts and thyme. Place back in the oven for eight to ten minutes, until the cheese has melted a little.
  • Mix the honey with Aleppo pepper in a small bowl.
  • Once the pears are done cooking, transfer to a platter (or plates) and drizzle with the honey and garnish with flaky salt and extra thyme (if desired). Enjoy!

Notes

These pears are great served warm or at room temperature.
