Emeril's Toigo Orchards Roasted Pears With Honey And Goat Cheese

YIELD 4 servings

INGREDIENTS

4 firm-ripe Bosc pears, halved and cored
8 ounces goat cheese
1/2 cup honey
2 cups Port or late harvest dessert wine
1/3 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cinnamon sticks, broken into pieces

PREPARATION:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

For the Pears:

  1. In a small bowl combine the goat cheese and 1/4 cup honey and mix well.
  2. Arrange the pear halves inside a shallow baking dish or low-sided baking sheet. Fill each hollowed core with a large dollop of the goat cheese mixture. Drizzle with the remaining 1/4 cup honey. Bake until the pears are beginning to brown, about 4 to 5 minutes.
