Servings: 2
Ingredients:
1 teaspoon brown sugar, divided

1 tablespoon chopped walnuts, divided
Equipment:
oven
glass baking pan
baking pan
baking paper
knife
Cooking instruction summary:
Pre-heat the oven to 350. Set out a glass baking dish.Cut your pear in half from stem to base. Use a spoon to scoop out the seed/core area, forming a round hollow valley. Sprinkle a teaspoon of the brown sugar over top the two pears and follow with a sprinkling of cinnamon. Use half a tablespoon of the chopped walnuts to fill the valleys of the pears. Sprinkle the remaining teaspoon of brown sugar over top of the walnuts. Place the pears cut side up into the baking dish and place in the oven. Bake for 30 minutes.While the pears are baking, place the cheese wedge on a cutting mat or piece of parchment paper and use a spreader knife to whip or smush the cheese until its smooth and no longer shaped like a wedge. Split the cheese into two equal piles and use your spreader knife to smooth them into thick rounds.When the pears are done baking, remove them from the oven and transfer each to a plate for serving (careful, these will be hot!). Use your spreading knife to slide underneath and carefully lift the round cheese forms off the paper or mat and place them on top of the baked pears. Sprinkle the remaining half tablespoon of chopped walnuts over the tops and finish with another pinch of cinnamon if desired.
