Servings: 6 people
Course: Appetizer, Dessert

Ingredients
  

  • 3 pears
  • ½ cup blue cheese
  • ½ cup mixed nuts
  • 3 tablespoon maple syrup

Method
 

  1. You will need three pears, blue cheese, mixed nuts, and maple syrup. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a baking dish so that the bottom of the pears won't stick. Wash and cut pears in half.
  2. Use a melon ball scooper and carve out the center of each pear.
  3. Make sure you carve out plenty of room for the blue cheese and mixed nuts. Arrange the pears in the baking dish.
  4. Use about a half cup of blue cheese and place into the space carved out of the pears.
  5. Add a half cup of mixed nuts. I used salted mixed nuts and roughly chopped them. Place the nuts on top of the blue cheese.
  6. Bake the pears for 10 -12 minutes. Remove from the oven and add 3 tablespoons of maple syrup over the freshly baked pears. Add a few more mixed nuts if desired.
