Savor the Sweetness of Simple Elegance! Perfect for a cozy family gathering or a charming dinner finale.

🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil 🫒
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 4 ripe but firm pears, halved and cored
- Salt and pepper, to taste 🧂
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese 🧀
- Optional: Chopped walnuts for garnish

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳
1. Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the pears by halving them and scooping out the cores, creating a small well in each half.
3. Arrange the pear halves cut-side up in a baking dish. Drizzle each with olive oil.
4. Generously fill the centers of the pears with crumbled feta and sprinkle with chopped cranberries.
5. Place the dish in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pears are tender and the feta has slightly melted.
6. Once baked, remove the pears from the oven. Drizzle over the honey and sprinkle with fresh thyme. Season with a dash of salt and pepper.
7. If desired, add a final touch with chopped walnuts for extra texture and flavor.
