Prepare the Spinach Mixture:

Bake the Timbales:
- Spoon the spinach mixture evenly into the prepared timbale molds. Cover each mold with foil.
- Place the filled molds in a bain-marie (a water bath) to ensure gentle and even cooking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until the timbales are set and firm to the touch.
-
Prepare the Spicy Pear Sauce:
- While the timbales are baking, you can prepare the spicy pear sauce.
- In a food processor, combine the chopped pear, chili sauce, and ground nutmeg. Blend until you achieve a smooth sauce consistency.
- Transfer the pear sauce mixture to a small saucepan and gently heat it over low heat until warmed through.
-
Serve and Enjoy:

- Carefully unmold the timbales onto serving plates.
- Drizzle the warm spicy pear sauce over the timbales just before serving.
