Here is a recipe for Apple Strudel that I have subbed pears in. I add more raisins, and a touch of ground ginger. If it's just for us, I like making smaller ones. Or making them into triangles as you would for spanakopita.

Practice safe lunch. Use a condiment.

here you go -
This one from Emeril is really good, and we use it as a dessert. But, it could be s side dish also.
Emeril’s Fresh Pears with Parmigiano-Reggiano and Balsamic Vinegar
Makes 6 Servings
3 ripe Anjou or Comice pears
1 tablespoon lemon juice
4 ounces Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, in 1 piece
1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
Preparation:
Halve and core the pears, slice each half into long, thin slivers.
Drizzle the pears with the lemon juice. Fan out 4 to 5 pieces of pear on a salad plate. Using a vegetable peeler, "peel" thin slivers of cheese and sprinkle around the pears. Drizzle each with a little balsamic vinegar and serve. Garnish with black pepper.
