Variants:
Vegan Version: Use dairy-free feta and a plant-based honey alternative for a vegan-friendly version of this dish.
Nut-Free: Omit the walnuts if you have a nut allergy, or try using pumpkin seeds for a crunch without the nuts.
Spicy Version: Add a dash of chili flakes or a drizzle of hot honey for a spicy kick that pairs beautifully with the sweetness of the pears.
FAQ:
Q: Can I use other types of cheese instead of feta?
A: Yes! You can substitute feta with goat cheese or blue cheese for a different flavor profile, though feta’s creamy and tangy taste works wonderfully with the pears.
Q: Can I prepare this dish ahead of time?
A: You can prep the pears (halve and core them, stuff with feta) and store them in the fridge for up to a day before baking. Just drizzle with honey and thyme right before you pop them in the oven.
Q: Can I use canned pears instead of fresh?
A: Fresh pears are recommended for the best texture and flavor. However, if you’re using canned pears, make sure they are drained well and bake them for a shorter time to avoid over-softening.
