These Roasted Pears with Cream Cheese and Pistachios transform simple ingredients into an elegant dessert or brunch dish. Warm, caramelized pears serve as the base, made tender in the oven with melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Once cooled slightly, each pear is filled with creamy, softly sweetened cream cheese and finished with chopped pistachios for crunch. A drizzle of honey adds a glossy finish and enhances the natural fruit sweetness. The recipe comes together quickly, yet feels luxurious—perfect for entertaining or treating yourself to something special with minimal effort.
