Ingredients:

Serving

3 tbsp butter
2 tbsp sugar
2 pears, peeled and diced
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup stilton cheese, crumbled
25 endive spears
1/2 cup pecan halves or 25 pieces, toasted
watercress sprigs, for garnish
1 cup cream cheese (for presentation)

Directions:

In a large saute pan, over medium heat, add the butter and sugar. Add the diced pears and cook until well caramelized, approximately 8 minutes.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the garlic, red wine vinegar, salt, fresh ground pepper and olive oil. Add the mixture to the Stilton. Assemble the spears 1 by 1, starting with the cheese then the sauteed pear and topping them off with a toasted pecan. These can be garnished with a sprig of watercress or other herb, if desired. Arrange the spears on a plate by first making a small mound of cream cheese and then sticking each spear into the cream cheese in a floral, 3-dimensional pattern.
