Ingredients:
4 ripe but firm pears (e.g., Bosc or Bartlett) 
½ cup creamy Gorgonzola cheese 
2 tbsp honey 
¼ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional) 
1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted 
Fresh thyme leaves (optional) 
Instructions:
Preheat the oven:Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper. 
Prepare the pears:Cut the pears in half lengthwise and scoop out the core and seeds with a spoon or melon baller. Trim a small slice off the bottom of each pear half so they sit flat.
Prepare the filling:In a small bowl, mix the Gorgonzola cheese and half the honey until smooth. Add chopped walnuts or pecans if using.
Stuff the pears:Place the pears cut-side up in the prepared baking dish. Fill each cavity with the Gorgonzola mixture. Brush the exposed pear flesh with melted butter. 
Bake:Bake the pears for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized. 
Finish with honey:Drizzle the baked pears with the remaining honey and sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves if desired. 
Serve:Serve warm as an appetizer, side dish, or dessert. These pair wonderfully with a crisp white wine or as a luxurious addition to a charcuterie board.
