Ingredients:
1 large pears
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:
Preheat oven to 350 F.
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.
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.
Place a half walnut on top of the cheese mixture; lightly press it down. Drizzle pear halves with remaining teaspoon of honey.
On centre grate in oven, roast at 350 F for about 1 hour or until soft. Test with a toothpick at about 45 minutes.
