  • Cut the pears into quarters and place in the pan and poach for 15-20 minutes, or until just soft
  • Set aside
  • For the hazelnuts, use a small fry pan and add the honey, heat until it becomes runny, then add the cut hazelnuts
  • Cook off for about 2-3 minutes and set aside to cool
  • Slice the cheese as thin as you can
