Preparation
- Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a spoon or a Parisian melon-baller, scoop out the inside of each pear to create a small cavity to hold the stuffing. Try to leave at least 1/2" of thickness throughout the pear.
- Cut a 1/4" slice off the side of each pear to keep it steady on the baking sheet.
Stuffing
- Combine all the ingredients in a small mixing bowl. Divide the stuffing equally among the pears.
- Arrange the pears on the baking sheet and cover with aluminum foil. Bake the pears until soft, about 30 minutes.
- Remove the aluminum foil and return to the oven for 15 minutes.
- Remove the pears from the oven. Top each pear with OKA cheese. Return to the oven for 5 minutes, or until cheese is golden.
- Serve hot with your favourite caramel sauce.
