Halve the pears and remove the seed beds.
Rub the cut surfaces with honey and lemon so they do not darken.
Sprinkle the poppy seeds over the pears and arrange them in a baking dish.
Bake the pears in a 180°C oven for 22 minutes until tender.
Spoon the pan juices over the top and rest for 10 minutes.
💡 Tip: Choose pears that are still half-firm so they cook in the oven without falling apart.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Move to a serving plate, chill for 30 minutes, and serve with a fine dusting of pistachio powder.
