Pomegranate seeds offset the creamy goat cheese and honeysweet pears. This simple dish is ideal for breakfast, a snack, or dessert.

2 ounces fresh goat cheese (about 1/2 cup)

4 firm-ripe pears, such as Bartlett or Bosc, halved lengthwise

Honey, for drizzling

1/2 cup pomegranate seeds (from 1/2 large pomegranate)

Stir goat cheese in a small bowl until smooth. Core pear halves with a melon baller or small spoon and fill each cavity with 1 tablespoon cheese. (Pears can then be sliced again into smaller wedges, if desired.) Drizzle with honey and sprinkle with pomegranate seeds.
