Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut each pear into 8 wedges, removing core. Wrap each wedge with 1 slice bacon, stretching slightly to cover.
Step 2
Place wrapped pears on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Bake until bacon is crisp and browned, about 15-18 minutes, turning once halfway.
Step 3
In a large bowl, toss the 4 cups arugula with the 2 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Step 4
Divide arugula onto plates. Top with hot bacon-wrapped pears, crumble the 1.5 oz blue cheese over, and sprinkle with the 0.25 cup walnuts. Serve immediately.
