How to Make Balsamic Roasted Pears With Pepper And Honey

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in an 8-inch square glass baking dish in the preheated oven for about 3 minutes.
  3. Arrange 4 ripe but firm pears, cut-side down, in a single layer in the melted butter. Roast in the middle of the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until tender.
  4. Pour 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar over the pears. Roast for an additional 5 minutes.
  5. Carefully transfer the pears, cut-side down, to serving plates. Serve alongside 4 ounces of your favorite cheese (e.g., goat cheese, gorgonzola). Spoon some of the pan juices over the pears.
  6. Drizzle the pears and cheese with 1 tablespoon of honey and sprinkle generously with freshly cracked black pepper.
