Last weekend Steve and I went on a quite weekend away without the kids, it was so relaxing! We stayed at a really cute B&B which included a 5 course breakfast each morning. On our second morning this was one of the courses and I just loved it! I came home and had to recreate it. This Baked Pear with Yogurt & Blackberry Compote is a delicious light breakfast or perfect for a brunch spread. Each step is really simple and the components work perfectly with each other.
I think we all know that I love cooking but I also really enjoy when I get a couple days off and get to enjoy someone else’s creations. At the B&B we enjoyed homemade muffins, egg bakes, apple waffles and even sweet treats to end the meal… it was a great way to start the day! This dish happened to just stick out for me. I don’t know if it is its simplicity or the combination of flavors but either way I really enjoyed it. There are very few ingredients in this one and the steps to create it are so easy and it all looks so elegant in the end. Whether you are making breakfast for yourself or for a special occasion, this one is a beautiful dish to serve.
- 3 pears
- cinnamon
- 6 oz blackberries
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 2 Tbsp water
- vanilla yogurt
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Place the pears in a baking dish and sprinkle with a little cinnamon. Add just a little water to the bottom of the pan to prevent the bottoms from browning. {My pears were ripe so I didn’t add sugar. If yours are a little on the hard side, you can sprinkle a little sugar on top as well to sweeten them.}
- Bake for approx. 20-24 minutes depending on how firm or soft you prefer them.
- While they are baking you can make the compote. Add the blackberries, sugar and water to a small pot. Using a potato masher, smash the berries down a bit. Simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning, until thickened up.
- To serve add some yogurt to a bowl, topped with the warm pear and the compote.
