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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Slice the pears into thin wedges, removing the core and seeds.

Step 3

In a bowl, toss the pear wedges with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme leaves.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

While the pears are roasting, place the Brie cheese round on a small, oven-safe serving dish or skillet.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Remove both the roasted pears and the Brie from the oven. Arrange the warm pear slices over the top of the Brie cheese.

Step 8

Drizzle the honey evenly over the pears and Brie, then garnish with a few extra sprigs of fresh thyme for presentation.

Step 9

Serve immediately with crackers or baguette slices for dipping or spreading.
