A delicious first course or picnic nibble, just as good cold as hot.
Try them with a tall glass of Isaac's Pear Cider

Roasted Pears with Herbed Goat Cheese

INGREDIENTS

• goat cheese
• chopped mixed herbs such as parsley, thyme, and chives
• extra-virgin olive oil
• salt and freshly ground black pepper
• pears
• sliced bacon, in strips
Honey or Maple syrup for drizzling.

DIRECTIONS

Heat the oven to 375°F / 190°C

 

In a small bowl, mix the goat cheese, herbs, and olive oil; season with salt and pepper.

Halve the pears and scoop out the seeds and cores.

Stuff each pear half with about a tablespoon of the cheese.

Wrap each stuffed pear with a slice of bacon and place it on a baking sheet.

Drizzle some olive oil over the pears and season them with salt and pepper. I skipped this as the bacon we have is very streaky.
Bake them until the pears are tender and the bacon is crisp, about 25 to 30 minutes.

Place the pears onto a platter, drizzle with the honey, and garnish.

I used Maple syrup and it was divine.

( we are not Maple producing so it is extremely expensive )
