How to Make Stuffed Pears

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Halve pears lengthwise and gently scoop out some of the core and flesh to create a small well in each pear half, reserving the scooped pear flesh.
  3. Brush pear halves generously with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  4. Sprinkle pears with 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves.
  5. Roast pear halves for 15 minutes.
  6. While pears roast, prepare the filling: In a bowl, combine 4 ounces crumbled bacon, 1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese (or cheese of your choice), 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans, and 2 tablespoons of the reserved pear flesh. Mix well.
  7. Remove pears from oven. Fill each pear half generously with the bacon, cheese, and nut mixture.
  8. Return stuffed pears to the oven and roast for another 15 minutes, or until pears are tender and filling is heated through and slightly browned.
