Ingredients
For 6 Serving(s)
honey-and-thyme-roasted-pears
- 3 pears
- 2 T butter
- 1/2 c honey
- 1 t vanilla extract
- 2 T brown sugar
- 1/3 c thyme sprigs
- 8 oz whipping cream
- 1 t cinnamon
- 3/4 c yogurt
Honey and Thyme Roasted Pears Directions
- Heat a heavy, ovenproof skillet. Melt the butter, then stir in half a cup of the honey, vanilla, brown sugar, thyme sprigs, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a gentle simmer, and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes.
- Arrange the pears cut side down in the skillet. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, then flip the pears over and transfer the skillet to the middle rack of the oven. Bake 12-15 minutes, until the pears are tender and the sauce is deeply golden and caramelized.
- While the pears are in the oven, beat the whipping cream with an electric mixer until stiff. Fold in the remaining 2 tablspoons of honey, a pinch of salt, and cinnamon. Beat one more minute, and then fold in the Greek yogurt.
- Serve the pears piping hot, drizzled with some of the honey-brown sugar sauce and topped with the yogurt cream.
