Baked Brie - Appetizer and Snack
Brie baked in a round sourdough bread bowl makes this ultimately easy! You could substitute a sweet chutney for the topping for even easier prep. I microwaved the final product for a few minutes to speed up the cooking (couldn't wait for it to be ready!)
Prep 20 mins Cook: 1hr Total: 1hr20 mins Servings: 8 Yield: 8 servings
Baked Brie with Caramelized Pears, Shallots and Thyme
1 tablespoon butter
2 shallots thinly sliced
2 pears - peeled cored and sliced
⅓ cup dry white wine
½ teaspoon brown sugar
½ teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
salt and pepper to taste
1 (8 ounce) round loaf sourdough bread
1 (8 ounce) round Brie cheese
½ cup slivered almonds
Assorted crackers
Appetizer and Snack Step 1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Step 2 Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add shallot; cook and stir for 1 minute to soften. Add thinly sliced pears; cook until soft about 5 minutes. Pour in white wine brown sugar thyme salt and pepper; increase heat to medium-high and simmer until the liquid has evaporated and the pears have lightly caramelized about 10 minutes. Set aside. Step 3 Cut a Brie-sized hole in the top of the sourdough bread to within 1/2-inch of the bottom. Cut the removed bread into pieces for serving set aside. Score the Brie around it's edge using a paring knife to cut 1/4-inch deep. Cut in half by looping an 18-inch piece of very thin string or unflavored dental floss around the scored Brie and pulling the ends in opposite directions. Step 4 Place the bottom half of the Brie cut-side-up into the sourdough loaf. Top with 1/2 of the pear mixture and sprinkle with 1/2 of the slivered almonds. Place the remaining brie half on top spread with remaining pear mixture and sprinkle with remaining slivered almonds. Place on a baking sheet. Step 5 Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes or until soft and gooey. Serve with sliced sourdough bread and crackers.
