Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a baking dish with butter.

Step 2

Wash the pears and slice them in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to carefully scoop out the cores to create a small hollow in each half.

Chop the figs finely and fold them into the cream cheese mixture.

Step 5

Fill each pear hollow with a generous scoop of the cream cheese mixture.

Step 6

Sprinkle the chopped walnuts evenly over the cream cheese filling.

Step 7

Place the stuffed pear halves into the prepared baking dish and dot the tops lightly with butter.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pears are tender and the topping is golden and slightly caramelized.

Step 9

Let the pears cool for a few minutes before serving. Drizzle with additional honey for extra sweetness, if desired.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures!
