Roasted Pears - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 large pear
    vegetable oil cooking spray
    2 tablespoons cream cheese (I use no fat)
    1/8 teaspoon salt
    1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
    1 tablespoon whole half walnuts (or pecans)
    2 teaspoons honey
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F.
    Peel, if you wish (I leave them unpeeled) Slice pear in half lengthwise, scoop out seeds to make a nice circle. Spray with veggies spray and set aside in a gratin dish sprayed with veggie spray, cut side up.
    In a small bowl mix together, cream cheese, salt, nutmeg and 1 teaspoon honey. Fill each pear half cavity with half of the cheese mixture.
    Place a half walnut on top of the cheese mixture; lightly press it down. Drizzle pear halves with remaining teaspoon of honey.
    On centre grate in oven, roast at 350\u00b0F for about 1 hour or until soft. Test with a toothpick at about 45 minutes.
