skillet over medium-high heat until the foaming subsides.
Add the pear slices in a single layer and cook, shaking
the pan gently, until browned on the first side, about 1
minute. Carefully flip the slices with a thin flexible offset
spatula and continue cooking until the second side is
browned, about 1 minute longer. Slide the pears onto a
large plate and allow to cool for 5 minutes.- Combine the pears, arugula, cheese, a pinch of salt, a
few cracks of pepper, and the vinaigrette in a large bowl
and gently toss with clean hands until evenly coated.
Serve immediately.
