[Cora_Bates]

This recipe is a fantastic twist on a classic breakfast dish, offering a perfect harmony of textures and flavors.

We start with juicy pears that are gently baked until tender and infused with warming spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. A crunchy and flavorful pecan granola adds a delightful textural contrast, while a dollop of creamy honey yogurt provides a touch of sweetness and coolness.

This breakfast is not only delicious but also healthy and visually appealing. It's a great way to start your day with a satisfying and unique meal.

Make the Spiced Pecan Granola:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, pecans, almonds, brown sugar, melted butter, cinnamon, and ginger. Mix well to coat the oats and nuts.
3. Spread the granola mixture on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown, stirring occasionally.

Make the Honey Yogurt:

1. In a small bowl, stir together the plain yogurt and honey.

To Serve:

1. Spoon a dollop of honey yogurt into the center of each pear half. Top with the spiced pecan granola and enjoy!
