Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).

Slice the Pears (2) in half and remove seeds and core. Shave off a small piece of the rounded portion so that the pears sit flat. Drizzle with Olive Oil (as needed) .

Fill with Blue Cheese (1/2 cup) and wrap with a piece of Prosciutto (4 slices) in half lengthwise. Brush exposed pieces of cut pear with a little Olive Oil (as needed) .

Bake for about 25 minutes, until pears have softened slightly.
