Roasted Pears

I used Bosc pears--they keep their shape. Very tasty!

• Ready In: 1 hr 10 mins
• Serves: 2

Ingredients

• 1  large pear
•  vegetable oil cooking spray
• 2  tablespoons cream cheese (I use no fat)
• 1⁄8 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄8 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1  tablespoon  whole half walnuts (or pecans)
• 2  teaspoons honey

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Peel, if you wish (I leave them unpeeled) Slice pear in half lengthwise, scoop out seeds to make a nice circle. Spray with veggies spray and set aside in a gratin dish sprayed with veggie spray, cut side up.
3. In a small bowl mix together, cream cheese, salt, nutmeg and 1 teaspoon honey. Fill each pear half cavity with half of the cheese mixture.
4. Place a half walnut on top of the cheese mixture; lightly press it down. Drizzle pear halves with remaining teaspoon of honey.
5. On centre grate in oven, roast at 350°F for about 1 hour or until soft. Test with a toothpick at about 45 minutes.
