Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Pears:
Cut the pears in half and scoop out the core with a melon baller or spoon to create a small well in each pear half.

Drizzle each pear half with a little olive oil.
Sprinkle crumbled blue cheese into the hollow of each pear.

5. Finish with Honey and Thyme:
Remove the pears from the oven and drizzle with honey.
Sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves, and season with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
6. Optional Garnish:
If desired, sprinkle chopped walnuts on top for extra texture and flavor.
