Print Recipe

A simple and elegant baked pear dish combining the sweetness of honey and cranberries with the salty tang of feta cheese, enhanced by fresh thyme and optional walnuts for crunch. Perfect as an appetizer or light dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm pears, halved and cored
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: chopped walnuts for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Halve the pears and scoop out the cores to create a small well in each half.
  3. Place the pears cut-side up in a baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil, and fill each center with crumbled feta and chopped cranberries.
  4. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the pears soften and the feta starts to melt.

  6. Optionally, top with chopped walnuts for added crunch.
  7. Serve warm as an appetizer or light dessert.

Notes

This recipe offers versatility as it can be served warm as an appetizer, a side dish, or a light dessert. Using firm pears ensures they hold their shape during baking. Adding walnuts provides a pleasant texture contrast.
