roasted pears with pecorino cheese

When I was at the greenmarket this weekend I saw these pears and thought they looked pretty so I bought them. I didn’t have a recipe in mind, but figured I could find something tasty, and boy did I. I saw this recipe for roasted pears with pecorino cheese and thought it sounded like an interesting combination, especially when I noticed caramel was involved.

I used my fancy new dutch oven to cook the pears and make a caramel sauce on the stovetop, then I popped it all in the oven to let the pears soften a bit. Once the pears were soft enough, I put some caramel in a bowl, then placed the pears over it and topped it all off with a slice of pecorino cheese. Not only did the dessert look beautiful, it tasted amazing and nearly melted in your mouth. It’s a super simple recipe that makes a delightful end to any meal.
