Preheat the oven to 175°C. Halve the pears, peel them, and carefully remove the cores. Fill each hollowed-out pear half with about 25g of Gorgonzola soft cheese, or more if desired. Place the pear half, curved side up, on a piece of puff pastry and gently press the dough around the pear to form a small rim. Brush with beaten egg yolk and bake in the oven for about 20-25 minutes. Before serving, sprinkle 1 teaspoon of cranberries on each pear half.
