Peel, core, and thinly slice pears. Layer pear slices, sprinkling raisins among the slices, in a buttered 9 x 13-inch pan.
Sprinkle with lemon juice and nutmeg; reserve. Mix flour, brown sugar, and salt.
Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal; work in cheese.
Sprinkle cheese mixture over pear mixture.
