Baked Pears with Feta, Honey and Cranberries

A cozy and elegant baked pear dish combining the sweetness of honey, tartness of cranberries, and the salty creaminess of feta cheese, perfect for a fall or winter dessert or appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ripe but firm pears (Bosc or Anjou)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Optional: vanilla yogurt, whipped cream, or vanilla ice cream for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Halve and core the pears, placing them cut side up in a baking dish.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the dried cranberries, crumbled feta, and ground cinnamon.
  4. Spoon the cranberry and feta mixture into the hollowed centers of the pears.
  5. Drizzle the pears with honey and melted butter.
  6. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the pears are tender and golden.
  7. Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla yogurt, whipped cream, or vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Use firm pears like Bosc or Anjou to ensure they hold their shape during baking. The honey not only sweetens but also helps caramelize the pears for a beautiful golden finish. For added texture, you can toast the cranberries lightly before mixing.
