Savory Baked Pears with Gorgonzola, Walnuts, and Cranberries 

Ingredients

• 4 large pears
• 2 Tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (or 1/2 teaspoon dried)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/3 cup gorgonzola cheese (or blue cheese)
• 1/3 cup chopped walnuts (or pecans)
• 1/3 cup dried cranberries (or fresh)
• 2 Tablespoons honey for finishing

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 375F.
• Cut the pears in half from top to bottom. Leave the stems on if desired for presentation.
• Use a melon baller or sharp spoon to scoop out approximately 1/2 Tablespoon sized hole where the seeds are. Make the hole larger or smaller as desired.
• Place the pear halves in a large baking dish, cut side up.
• Drizzle the pears with olive oil.
• Sprinkle the thyme over the pears, and sprinkle with a little salt and black pepper.
• Bake the pears for 20 minutes (12-15 if you want firmer pears in the end).
• While the pears are baking, combine the cheese, chopped nuts, and cranberries in a small bowl.
• Remove the pears from the oven and stuff the hole of each pear with the cheese mixture, so it is mounding up. You may need more or less cheese mixture based on how large the holes you made are.
• Place the pears back in the oven and finish cooking for about 10 more minutes until the cheese is melted.
• Remove the pears from the oven. Drizzle with some honey and serve immediately.
