Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
-
Wash and dry the pears, then slice them in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the cores to create a small cavity in each pear half.
-
Arrange the pear halves in the prepared baking dish, cut side up.
-
Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese and dried cranberries over each pear half, filling the cavities and letting some spill over for a rustic presentation.
-
Drizzle honey generously over each pear half.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until pears are tender and the honey has caramelized slightly.
-
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
-
For added crunch, sprinkle chopped walnuts or almonds over the pears before baking.
-
These baked pears can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or enjoy cold.
-
If you prefer, substitute the feta cheese with blue cheese for a stronger flavor profile.
