Pear and almond baked brie

  • Preparation 15 min
  • Cooking time 20 min
  • For 4 servings

Ingredients

    • 1 brie (or camembert) cheese 
    • 1 sweet William or Abate pear 
    • 3 – 5 whole almonds 
    • 5 hazelnuts 
    • 1 tbsp olive oil 
    • 1 garlic clove 
    • A few sprigs of rosemary 

Preheat the oven to 190°C/374°F. 

Coarsely chop the garlic. 

In a frying pan, add olive oil and gently fry the garlic, while tossing regularly. Set aside. 

While the pan is still hot, gently toast almonds and hazelnuts. 

Peel the pear and cut it into 1 cm/ ½ inch slices.  

Place the brie inside the Cheese Baker and score the top in a checkered pattern.  

Arrange the pear slices on top. Then, sprinkle the almonds, hazelnuts and rosemary sprigs over. 

Bake for 15 – 20 mins. 

Serve immediately with flatbread or crackers. 

Tip 

For an original presentation, cut 2 sheets of brick pastry, about 6-7 cm/ 3 inches larger than the diameter of the Cheese Baker. Brush the inside of the Baker with olive oil and place the first sheet. Brush it with olive oil and add a second sheet. Then you may proceed with step 6 in the recipe.
