Ingredients:  
3 ripe but not too soft pears, such as red Anjou or Bosc
1 lemon, cut in half
1 tbs butter
1 tbs sugar
1 oz blue cheese, such as Maytag, Pt. Reyes Original or Gorgonzola
1/3 c chopped toasted walnuts
Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400. Cut a pear in half lengthwise, leaving stem in tact on one of the halves. Using a melon baller or teaspoon, scoop out the seeds and the long fibers that run down the middle of each half. Rub the cut surface of the pear with lemon, and set aside, cut side up, on a plate. Repeat with the remaining pears.
When done, squeeze lemon juice all over the pears. This may be done 2 hours in advance. Get out a baking dish just large enough to hold the pears in a ling layer. Grease it with the butter.
Sprinkle sugar over the bottom of the dish. Place the pears cut side down in the dish. Bake until the sugar and butter melt and form a syrup, he cut surface of the pears begin to turn a little golden, and the pears are cooked through, about 35 to 40 minutes.
Turn the pears over and gently push them around in the syrup. Remove to individual dessert plates or a platter. Put about 1 tsp of the cheese in each pear cavity. Scatter the walnuts over the pears, including a few on the plates and platter. Let stand about 10 minutes before serving.
