How to Make Balsamic Roasted Pears With Pepper And Honey
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in an 8-inch square glass baking dish in the preheated oven for about 3 minutes.
- 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.
- Pour 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar over the pears. Roast for an additional 5 minutes.
- 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.
- Drizzle the pears and cheese with 1 tablespoon of honey and sprinkle generously with freshly cracked black pepper.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
