Pears Stuffed with Gorgonzola Cheese
Source of Recipe
Internet
List of Ingredients
Serves: 4
4 small firm ripe pears
1 lemon, cut in half
2 oz (50 g) imported Gorgonzola (or other high quality blue cheese)
2 Tbsp soft unsalted butter
2 Tbsp crushed walnuts, pistachio or pine nuts
Carefully peel the pears, leaving the stems attached. Cut in half
lengthwise and scoop out the seeds, along with a scant tablespoon
of pulp out of each half. Rub with the lemon juice to prevent
discoloration. Cream the Gorgonzola and the butter together in a
small bowl until they are soft and fluffy. Fill the hollows of the
pear halves with the cheese mixture and carefully stick the two
halves of the pears back together again. Roll the pears in the
crushed nuts, and chill for 2 hours, until the cheese is firm.
