Creating Baked Pears with Feta, Honey, and Cranberries is easy when following these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking.

2. Prepare the Pears: Halve the pears and scoop out the core, ensuring a nice indentation for filling.

3. Mix Cranberries and Feta: In a bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, dried cranberries, and chopped nuts (if using). This mixture will serve as the filling.

4. Fill the Pears: Spoon the feta and cranberry mixture generously into the hollowed-out centers of each pear half.

5. Drizzle with Honey: Pour honey over the filled pears, ensuring they are well coated.

6. Season: Sprinkle the ground cinnamon evenly over the pears for added warmth and flavor.

7. Arrange in a Baking Dish: Place the stuffed pears upright in a baking dish. If they tip over slightly, it’s okay; they will still cook nicely.

8. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. The pears should be tender and aromatic.

9. Garnish Before Serving: Remove the pears from the oven and let them cool slightly. Optionally, sprinkle fresh mint leaves for garnish.

10. Serve Warm: Enjoy your baked pears while still warm for the best flavor experience.
