Baked Pears with Blue Cheese and Honey

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the pears in half lengthwise and use a melon baller to scoop out the center seeds, creating a small well for the cheese. Brush the cut side of the pears with melted butter and place them cut-side up in the baking dish.
2. Slide the pears into the oven for 12–15 minutes until the edges soften and the natural sugars begin bubbling into a golden glaze.
3. Remove the pan and fill each pear well with crumbled blue cheese and chopped walnuts. Return to the oven for another 5 minutes, or until the cheese is velvety and the walnuts smell toasted.
4. Drizzle honey over the melted cheese and scatter fresh thyme leaves and a pinch of flaky sea salt over the top.
