Description

A delightful warm dessert featuring ripe pears topped with creamy brie, crunchy walnuts, and sweet-tart cranberries, baked to perfection.


Ingredients

  • 4 ripe pears, halved and cored
  • 4 ounces brie cheese, cut into small cubes
  • 1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of nutmeg


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. Arrange pear halves cut-side up in the baking dish.
  3. In a small bowl, combine brie cubes, walnuts, and cranberries. Spoon mixture into the pear cavities.
  4. Drizzle honey and melted butter over each pear. Sprinkle with cinnamon and nutmeg.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes until pears are tender and brie is melted slightly.

You can customize the seasonings to taste. For a sweeter version, add more honey or a sprinkle of brown sugar before baking. Walnuts can be substituted with pecans or almonds.
