Equipment:

  • Hand mixer

Ingredients:

Oat topping

  • ¼ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts or pecans
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon butter (melted)
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar

Goat cheese filling

  • 4 ounces goat cheese
  • 2 tablespoons honey

Instructions: 

  • Preheat oven to 425˚ F. Cut each pear in half lengthwise. Hollow just the center of the pears with a melon baller or spoon. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the pears hallow side down on the baking sheet. Bake 17-20 minutes, until fork tender. Remove from oven and set aside.
  • Line another baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside. In a small bowl, mix together oats, walnuts, cinnamon, melted butter, and brown sugar until combined. Spread the oat mixture out on the prepared baking sheet in a thin layer. Bake at 425˚ F for 8-10 minutes or until toasted. Set aside and let cool slightly before breaking the oat crumble apart into pieces.
  • In another small bowl, beat the goat cheese and honey with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy. Place a spoonful of goat cheese mixture into each baked pear. Spoon the cranberry preserves on top of the goat cheese mixture. Top each pear with a few spoonfuls of the toasted oat crumble. Drizzle with additional honey, if desired. Serve immediately.
