Preparation

Wash and dry the pears, cut them into four wedges and remove the core from each piece. Place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, skin side down. Season with olive oil, salt and pepper, and bake at 180 °C for about 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, cut the gorgonzola into small cubes and roughly chop the walnuts.

Remove the pears from the oven and let them cool slightly. Place a few cubes of gorgonzola on each pear wedge, then wrap each one with two slices of Speck Alto Adige PGI. Finish with a few more cubes of gorgonzola and the chopped walnuts.

Drizzle with a little honey, garnish with a sprig of rosemary and serve.
