Roasted Pears with Balsamic glaze, Aged Manchego cheese and honey

2-3 firm but ripe Bosc pears, halved and cored

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1/4-1/2 lb. Manchego cheese or fresh goat cheese, cut into 4-6 pieces.  I used 12 month old aged Manchego

1/4 cup honey (not solid.  needs to be able to pour)

Fresh ground pepper

Put a rack into the middle of an oven and heat to 400 F

Put butter in 8 inch square baking dish and melt in oven – about 3 minutes

Arrange pears in dish, cut side down, in one layer.  Roast in oven until tender – about 20 minutes.

Pour vinegar over pears and roast another 5 minutes

Arrange pears cut side down on serving plates, spoon juices over pears.  Place cheese beside pears and drizzle pears and cheese with honey.  dress with pepper and serve.
