• 2/3 cup sugar
• 1 cup (4 ounces) crumbled blue cheese, divided
• 2 tablespoons stick margarine
• 1/3 cup skim milk

• 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• Vegetable cooking spray
• 2 cups thinly sliced peeled pear (about 3 medium)

1. Preheat oven to 350u0b0.
2. Combine 2/3 cup sugar, 1/2 cup blue cheese, and margarine in a bowl; beat at high speed of a mixer until smooth. Add milk, egg whites, and vanilla; beat well.
3. Combine 1 1/3 cups flour and baking powder. Add to cheese mixture, stirring just until moistened. Spread batter into a 9-inch square baking pan coated with cooking spray. Arrange pear slices in a single layer in 3 rows on top of batter, pressing pear slices gently into batter.
