Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Peel the pears and cut off the bottom to create a flat surface for them to stand on.

Using a melon baller or spoon, remove the core and seeds from the pears, creating a hollow cavity.
-
In a bowl, mix together the cream cheese, honey, and cinnamon until well combined.

Stuff each pear with the cream cheese mixture, filling the hollow cavity.

Roll out the puff pastry sheet and cut it into 4 squares large enough to wrap around each pear.
-
Place a stuffed pear in the center of each puff pastry square.
-
Fold the corners of the pastry up and over the pear, sealing the edges.

Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush it over the pastry-wrapped pears.

Place the pears on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
-
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and crisp.
