    Oh my WORD, this is sooooo GOOD!! I made this tonight and it was such a hit! Could easily be used as a fancy first course, or a meal all in itself. Very filling without the heavy feel. I sprinkled just a dusting of cinnamon on the pears right before going into the oven, and I thought the pears had a fantastic taste. This reminds me of a fall evening...

    OMG!!! This was delicious. I like others did somethings a little different. My grocer was out of blue cheese so I opted for mozzarella. And I also used applesauce instead of cider. I didn't serve over arugala since I served this as a dessert. But my children were beggin for more...
    ( not to mention my son asked me to make this for a school party . My hubby was all over this as well. Thanx again Contessa. Another recipe for the house. ;-

    I made a few changes and the recipe still held up. The changes I made were using apples and swiss cheese. I left out the port as well. And I didn't have any cider so I diluted applesauce with water and mixed it with the brown sugar for the sauce. My family enjoyed it. It was fairly mellow with the swiss cheese so if you are not a fan of blue/stilton I say it is a good substitution. I used it as a side dish and it was a nice compliment to the meal. It was easy and delicious, my favorite type of recipe. Thanks Ina.
