Description

A sweet and savory twist on nachos featuring crispy tortilla chips topped with melted Brie, sliced pears, crunchy walnuts, and a drizzle of spicy hot honey. Perfect for a fall gathering or game day snack.


Ingredients

  • 8 oz (about 225g) tortilla chips
  • 8 oz (225g) Brie cheese, rind removed and cut into small pieces
  • 2 ripe pears (such as Bosc or Anjou), cored and thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more to taste)
  • Fresh thyme leaves, for garnish (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread tortilla chips in a single layer on a large baking sheet or oven-safe platter.
  2. Scatter the Brie pieces evenly over the chips. Top with sliced pears and chopped walnuts.
  3. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the Brie is melted and gooey.
  4. While the nachos bake, make the hot honey: In a small saucepan, combine honey and red pepper flakes. Warm over low heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring, until fragrant. Remove from heat.
  5. Drizzle the hot honey over the baked nachos. Garnish with fresh thyme if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

You can customize the seasonings to taste. For a milder kick, reduce the red pepper flakes; for extra heat, add a pinch of cayenne. Use a double cream Brie for extra richness. Assemble and bake just before serving to keep chips crisp.
