Method 4 steps

Preheat the oven to 200 °C (400 °F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine flour, oat bran, baking powder, sugar and nutmeg. Using your fingers or a pastry blender, rub margarine into flour mixture until it looks crumbly. Using a fork, stir in yogurt to make a ragged dough. Add pear and cheese and knead gently to make a soft dough.
Place dough on a floured surface and pat into a 20 cm (8 inch) circle about 2 cm (¾ inch) thick and cut into 8 wedges. Separate wedges and place on baking sheet.
Bake for about 15 minutes or until golden.
