Snacktastic Saturday: Harvest Roasted Pears

I'm all for scouring Pinterest for new recipes to feed my family, especially when the seasons change. So a couple of weeks ago, I kept seeing the same salad come up, a Harvest Cobb Salad. Now normally I'm not one to top my salads with fruit, but the bacon & goat cheese on it were calling to me. So, much to the hubs dismay, i made it for dinner one night. It was amazing! But one by one, after having it for lunch the next two days as well (of course), I started running out of ingredients. But that was OK, because that's when I got the genius idea for these Harvest Roasted Pears. 


 •pears, cut in half with stem & core removed
•butter
•goat cheese
•pecan pieces
•dried cranberries

- Preheat oven to 350ยบ.
- Melt butter in nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook pear halves in butter for about 5 min., flipping halfway through.
- When done, remove pears from skillet & place in a baking dish.
- Top pears with goat cheese, pecan pieces & dried cranberries. 
- Place in oven & bake just until goat cheese becomes softened. 

Enjoy!
