Melting Pears
4 Williams pears
40 g Gorgonzola cheese
8 long and thin slices of Hamburg bacon (streaky bacon that looks like this)
500 ml white wine
juice of 1 lemon
2 bay leaves
6 black peppercorns
Pour wine in a pot with 2 liters of water, bay leaves and peppercorns. Let boil. Peel the pears, leaving stems on and pour lemon juice over them (this will prevent change of color due to oxidation). Carefully put pears in pot and cook on low heat for about 20 minutes. Drain them and let cool.
Cut the top part of each pear (like lids) and carefully remove hard part with seeds. Fill the holes with Gorgonzola. Return the top parts to their place and wrap each pear with 2 slices of bacon. Line large oven pan with baking paper and place pears on it. I have cut a thin part of bottom of each pear so they can “stand up” nice. Bake in a preheated oven on 220°C for about 20 minutes. Serve warm.

OMG this looks fantastic! Your beautiful picture is so enticing, and one can't go wrong with pears, gorgonzola and bacon, can you?
what an interesting recipe !
That pear looks gorgeous. The recipe sounds delicious and your photos are absolutely mouthwatering!
These are beautiful, must run to the store so I can try this! Thank you.
Jako, jako mi se ovo sviđa. I inače su mi kruške i gorgonzola odlična kombinacija.
Oh my that looks soooo good! I've got to start remembering to keep a napkin handy when I visit your blog so I don't drool all over :D
Pears and gorgonzola are one of my favorite combinations…and bacon makes everything better…this is a winner!
wow, i've never seen pears like this before! i can just taste this flavor combination, mmm! i'll have to keep this recipe for the next time we have company. thanks!
Simple, but delicious!!
Anything stuffed in cheese and wrapped in bacon gets a good grade in my book!
Decadent!
Oh my! This is amazing and so different. I make baked pears with butter, cream and sugar, but this out does me.
kako ovo dobro izgleda! fenomenalno!
Woah, those look amazing! What a unique combination of flavors that sound crazy good!
Whoa– what a great photo and brilliant idea, thanks!
What a great idea. Specially nice for the Winter when I don't want to have a huge starter with a hearty entree.
My word. This looks decadent. I am in pear love, I think. Wow.
I love pears poached in wine, add the gorgonzola and the bacon and it must be out of this world. Can't wait to try these, off the store! Thanks for sharing
Pear and gorgonzola! Now that has got to be a match made in heaven!
Mouthwatering….
This looks absolutely divine! Will try it out!!
wow, ludnica, jako mi se svidja!
This is pretty good, although I think you could just cook up some bacon, slice some pears, and plate with some Gorgonzola and it would taste basically the same. Although the warm, melty cheese is divine.
Predivna kombinacija!
wow! this recipe is just amazing!
Oh wow! That looks incredible!
