Baked Pears with Feta, Honey, and Cranberries

A delightful blend of sweet and savory, these baked pears are filled with crumbled feta, dried cranberries, and a touch of honey, then baked until tender and finished with fresh thyme. Serve warm as an appetizer, side, 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
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 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.
  5. Remove from the oven, drizzle with honey, and sprinkle with fresh thyme. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Optionally, top with chopped walnuts for added crunch.
  7. Serve warm as an appetizer or light dessert.

Notes

This recipe is versatile and can be served as an appetizer, side, or dessert. For extra crunch, add chopped walnuts just before serving. Pears should be ripe but firm to hold their shape during baking.
