- 1 Tbsp. thyme fresh or dried chopped fine
- 1 Tbsp. sage fresh or dried chopped fine
- 4 Tbsp. honey
Instructions
- Set your oven to 375-degrees
- Start by washing the pears and drying. Then cut in half and scoop out the seeds.

- Fill the cavities of the pears with the filling. Roast in the preheated oven for 20 -30 minutes. Then drizzle the pear halves remaining honey .
Notes
Choose pears that are ripe but still firm. They should hold their shape while baking rather than becoming too soft. A small spoon or melon baller makes it easy to create an even cavity for the Gorgonzola filling.
