Description
Baked Pears with Brie, Walnuts, and Cranberries is a delightful treat perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ripe pears, halved and cored
- 1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter (15 ml)
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (15 ml)
- Pinch of ground cinnamon
- 4 oz Brie cheese, cut into small cubes (115 g)
- 1/3 cup chopped walnuts, toasted (35 g)
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries (30 g)
- Fresh rosemary or thyme (optional garnish)
- Extra honey for drizzling (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Take the ripe pears and slice them in half lengthwise, carefully removing the core with a knife or spoon. Place the pear halves cut-side up in a small baking dish.
- Next, brush each pear half generously with olive oil or melted butter. Drizzle honey or maple syrup over the pears and finish with a pinch of ground cinnamon.
- Fill the hollows of each pear half with cubes of Brie cheese, topping them with toasted walnuts and dried cranberries.
- Place the baking dish in your preheated oven and allow the pears to bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes.
- Once ready, let them cool, garnish with fresh herbs, and drizzle with honey before serving.
Notes
Ensure your pears are perfectly ripe for the best texture; slightly firm pears may not soften properly during baking.
