Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 wheel (about 8 oz) Brie cheese round
- 2 medium Pear (ripe but firm)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon (leaves, plus extra for garnish) Fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon (freshly ground) Black pepper
- 1 package (optional, for serving) Crackers or baguette slices
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the pears into thin wedges, removing the core and seeds.
In a bowl, toss the pear wedges with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme leaves.
Arrange the pear wedges in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast them in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
While the pears are roasting, place the Brie cheese round on a small, oven-safe serving dish or skillet.
Warm the Brie in the oven for the last 5-7 minutes of the pears' roasting time. The Brie should become soft and gooey but not completely lose its shape.
Remove both the roasted pears and the Brie from the oven. Arrange the warm pear slices over the top of the Brie cheese.
Drizzle the honey evenly over the pears and Brie, then garnish with a few extra sprigs of fresh thyme for presentation.
Serve immediately with crackers or baguette slices for dipping or spreading.
