Ingredients

Scale

3 oz. creamy goat cheese
About 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
About 1/2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
2 pears, sliced vertically and cored
4 slices of bacon
Arugula leaves
Honey, for drizzling

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 F. In a bowl, mix the goat cheese with the herbs and set aside.
Slice the pears horizontally and remove the core with a melon baller or small spoon.
Put a spoonful of the cheese mixture in the center of each pear half, then wrap a bacon slice around it. Set on a small baking sheet.
Bake at 375 for about 25 – 30 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and the pear is tender.
Make a bed of arugula on your serving plates and arrange the pear halves on top. Drizzle each pear lightly with honey. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
