Ground cinnamon, allspice & nutmeg

A pat of butter (cut into small cubes) 

Our Toppings of Choice: honeyed yogurt and pomegranate seeds 

1. Cut pear in half. Use a melon baller to remove seed center + remove stem.
2. Add pear halves to a single serving dish that has been sprayed with pan release. 
3. Drizzle with honey and sprinkle lightly with cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg.
4. Top with walnuts and dot with butter.
5. Bake in preheated 375° oven for about 20 minutes or until pears can be easily pieces with a sharp knife.
