Stilton Pears
Low Fat Stilton Pears sounds like a contradiction as we all know that Stilton is a high-fat cheese but in this really tasty starter or light lunch recipe, the combination of sweet ripe pears, low-fat soft cheese, and Greek yogurt mixed with a little Stilton, is surprisingly delicious.

Preparation time: 15 minutes
Ingredients
4 ripe Conference pears
4fl oz cider or apple juice or use juice of 2 lemons
50g Stilton cheese
50g low-fat soft cheese
1 tbsp 0% fat Greek yogurt
1 Little Gem lettuce
Method
- Peel the pears and slice in half lengthways, then carefully remove the core with the tip of a teaspoon. Dip the pears in the cider/apple or lemon juice to prevent them from discolouring, and set aside.
- Meanwhile, mix the Stilton, low-fat soft cheese and yogurt together in a small bowl until fairly smooth.
- Now fill the cavities in each of the pear halves with a teaspoon of the cheese mixture and place them on lettuce leaves on serving plates.
- Keep chilled until ready to serve. Serve with a dessert knife and fork.
