Tips for the Perfect Baked Pears:

  • Add Some Crunch: Sprinkle chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans for added texture and flavor.
  • Try Different Cheeses: Experiment with blue cheese or feta for a unique variation.
  • Enhance the Flavor: A sprinkle of cinnamon or a dash of balsamic glaze can elevate the taste even further.
  • Choose the Right Pears: Opt for varieties like Bosc or Anjou, which hold their shape well when baked.
  • Make it a Full Dessert: Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of Greek yogurt for a richer treat.
