This is a delicious, fresh addition to breakfast or a fun side dish for brunch. It’s a great, healthy snack, or even sweet enough for a guiltless dessert!
Pomegranate Pears
2 pears
2 oz cream cheese {or another soft, creamy cheese}
1 or 2 grinds of salt
2 tbsp Pomegranate seeds
Honey for drizzling
Dash cinnamon (optional)
Slice pears in half and remove seeds with a small spoon or melon baller. Add salt or a dash of cinnamon to the cream cheese and stir until smooth. Fill pear cavities with cheese, drizzle with honey, and sprinkle with pomegranate seeds.
*Other soft cheeses may be substituted, such as:
- goat cheese
- ricotta cheese
- drained cottage cheese
Experiment to see what you like best! I used cream cheese because I had it on-hand.
*Hubs bought some honey from one of his Crossfit friends that raises bees. The taste and texture are so different from processed honey! Try to find a local beekeeper. You will be really happy that you did.
