I am not a fan of bue cheese so I tried this with blueberry cheese and it was amazing. - 9/14/20

This is similar to a recipe I saw on the Food Channel today. They suggested putting a bit of honey atop to balance the striking flavor of the bleu cheese. - 9/14/20

I like that this suggests options for other cheeses than blue cheese. I can't get it past my nose! My husband loves it, though. I think you would actually need to start grilling with the cut side down, then flip over to add the cheese mixture - the only way to get the grill marks on the cut side! - 8/4/20

I don't have a BBQ. Does anyone know if this can be done on a George Forman Grill, or in the oven?
If so at what temp should the oven be set on. Thank you.

Be sure to pick firm, just about ripe pears for this or you will have soup on your grill. That's what happened when I picked some ripe, juicy pears. - 5/20/18

Pears have been inexpensive this year and I love blue cheese. I was in total heaven eating this for an afternoon snack! I left the butter off and used the teaspoon of live oil instead to save on fats. - 8/4/17

this was so good..and easy....and sometimes I leave off the cheese and add a bit of real maple syrup
the oil is not needed either, if you need it a small spray of olive oil thats really enough - 8/4/17
