Ingredients:

  • 2 large Bosc or Anjou pears, halved and cored
  • 8 oz Brie cheese, chilled and sliced into thick rounds
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 1/4 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
  • 2 tbsp dried cranberries
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 pinch flaky sea salt

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Slice the pears in half lengthwise and use a melon baller or small spoon to scoop out the seeds, creating a small nest in the center of each pear.
  3. Place the pear halves cut-side up on the baking sheet. Place a thick slice of chilled Brie directly into the hollowed center of each pear.
  4. Drizzle the honey evenly over the cheese and the exposed pear flesh.
  5. Bake for 15–20 minutes until the Brie looks slumped and glossy, and the edges of the pears turn a deep golden brown.
  6. Remove from the oven and immediately top with chopped walnuts, dried cranberries, and fresh thyme. Sprinkle with a pinch of flaky sea salt.
