It’s probably been mentioned here on the blog more than once that I love healthy and delicious food. Finding a balance between healthy and tasty isn’t always easy, especially when it comes to desserts. When I first switched to a healthier diet, I thought there was nothing that could be both delicious and nutritious. But over time, I discovered a few quick, healthy, and tasty recipes. Today, I’m sharing one of my absolute favorites: baked pears in puff pastry with Gorgonzola, walnuts, and honey.

Puff pastry may not be the healthiest ingredient, but only a small amount is used in this recipe. The main ingredient is pears – and they’re definitely healthy! What makes this recipe special is how quick and easy it is to prepare, with almost no cleanup afterward. And the best part? These baked pears with Gorgonzola and walnuts taste absolutely amazing. Maybe this favorite of mine will become your go-to dessert as well!

HOW TO MAKE BAKED PEARS WITH GORGONZOLA AND WALNUTS

Ingredients

• 1 sheet of puff pastry
• 5 pears
• Gorgonzola
• Walnuts
• Honey

Preparation

1. Wash 5 pears, cut them in half, and remove the cores.

2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place medium-sized drops of honey on it. Place the pear halves cut-side down onto the honey drops.

3. Roll out the puff pastry and cut it into triangles.

4. Cover the pear halves with the puff pastry triangles and press them down lightly. Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F) and bake the pears for about 20 minutes.

5. Once the puff pastry turns golden brown, remove the pears from the oven, flip them over, and place about one tablespoon of Gorgonzola on each. Sprinkle with walnuts. Return the pears to the oven for another 5–10 minutes, allowing the Gorgonzola to melt.

Take the baked pears out of the oven and drizzle them with a little honey before serving. They’re best enjoyed warm – the combination of sweet pear, creamy cheese, and crispy puff pastry is simply perfect!

Bon appétit!
