Ingredients
- 3 large pears (about 600g)
- 1–2 tsp vegetable oil (5–10 ml)
- 2 1/2 oz feta cheese (Danish feta cheese, crumbled) (70g)
- 1/3 cup walnuts, chopped (40g)
- 3 sprigs fresh thyme, removed from the stem
- 1–2 tbsp maple syrup (15–30 ml)
- 1/2 tsp (3 ml) Aleppo pepper
- flaky salt, for garnish
Instructions
- Set your oven to 400°F.
- Cut the pears in half from top to bottom and scoop out the core and seeds. Arrange them in a cast iron skillet or baking dish with the flat side facing up. Lightly coat with vegetable oil and a small amount of salt and pepper. Flip the pears over so the cut side faces down.
- Place the skillet in the oven and cook for 15 minutes.
- Take the pears out, flip them so the flat side is up, and fill them with the crumbled feta cheese, chopped walnuts, and thyme leaves. Return to the oven and bake for another 8 to 10 minutes until the cheese begins to soften.
- In a small bowl, combine the maple syrup with the Aleppo pepper.
- Once the pears are finished cooking, move them to a serving dish or individual plates. Pour the maple syrup mixture over them and sprinkle with flaky salt and additional thyme if you like. Enjoy your dish!
