1
Prepare the Pears
Cut the pears in half lengthwise and remove the cores. Brush the cut sides with a little olive oil.
2
Cook the Bacon
In a skillet, cook the bacon slices over medium heat until crispy. Once done, remove them from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain the excess fat.
3
Prepare the Onions
In the same skillet, add the cippolini onions and sauté until they are caramelized and tender, about 8-10 minutes.

4
Grill the Pears
Preheat the grill to medium heat. Place the pear halves cut-side down on the grill and cook for about 5 minutes, or until grill marks appear.
5
Flip the Pears
Carefully flip the pears and grill for an additional 4-5 minutes until they are tender.
6
Warm the Cheeses
Just before removing the pears from the grill, place slices of burrata and gorgonzola on top of the pears for 1-2 minutes to allow them to warm slightly.

7
Plate the Dish
On a serving platter, arrange the grilled pears topped with warm burrata and gorgonzola. Crumble the crispy bacon over the top.
8
Add Onions and Arugula
Top with the caramelized cippolini onions and a handful of fresh arugula.
9
Drizzle with Balsamic
Finish by drizzling balsamic vinegar over the assembled dish for added flavor.
