Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Halve and peel the pears, and carefully remove the seeds and core.
- Melt the butter in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Arrange the pears, cut side down, in the skillet so they just touch one another. Sprinkle the sugar, over the pears and butter. Cook, tilting the pan back and forth gently from time to time, until the sugar dissolves and melts into a golden caramel, about 4 minutes. Scrape the vanilla seeds into the pan, and add the pod. Reduce the heat, add the brandy, and cook a few minutes more. Be aware that the brandy may ignite, but the flames will die down quickly.
- Carefully turn the pears over, and transfer to the oven. They should be deep golden brown. Roast until the pears are fork tender, about 10 minutes, depending on the ripeness and size of the pears. Serve with thick slices of pecorino and caramel sauce.

[email protected]I'm allergic to nuts, so I'll have to omit the walnuts from this recipe. I wonder if I could substitute another ingredient, like dried cranberries or chopped apricots.

[email protected]Not a fan. The pears were mushy and the cheese was overpowering. I won't be making this again.

[email protected]These pears were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my husband loved them. I think I'll try using a different type of cheese next time, maybe something a little more tart.

[email protected]I've made this recipe several times now and it never disappoints. The pears always come out so juicy and flavorful. I love serving them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of honey.

[email protected]Easy to follow recipe with stunning results. The pears were perfectly roasted and the cheese added a nice touch of savory flavor. I'm not a big fan of walnuts, so I used almonds instead and they worked just as well. Definitely a keeper!

[email protected]These roasted pears were a delightful treat! The combination of sweet pears, salty pecorino cheese, and nutty walnuts was simply divine. I served them as a dessert with a dollop of whipped cream, and they were a huge hit with my family. Will definite
