Juicy and delicious, pears are a popular fruit during the summer months. Grilling them on GrillGrates adds a layer of complexity to their flavor that is enhanced with a good Gorgonzola cheese.

Ingredients

Servings

1

Pears

Canola oil spray

1.5

oz

Gorgonzola Cheese crumbled

0.5

tbsp

softened butter

Honey (we used a spicy habanero honey)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to 600-700F at the GrillGrate surface.

Step 2

Slice the pears in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds with a spoon to create a small “cup” to hold the Gorgonzola cheese.

Step 3

Combine the Gorgonzola crumbles with the softened butter in a small bowl

Step 4

Lightly spray the pears with canola oil on the flesh side.

Step 5

Place the pears face down on the GrillGrates to sear them. After two minutes twist them 45 degrees to achieve the coveted crosshatch pattern.

Step 6

After two more minutes remove the pears from the grill. Reduce the heat to low or 400F

Step 7

Fill each pear with approx. 2 tablespoons of Gorgonzola mixture.

Step 8

Place pears back on the grill and close lid. Cook three minutes and remove from grill to serving dish.

Step 9

Lightly drizzle honey over the pears to finish.
