A delightful and elegant Roasted Pear & Brie Board featuring caramelized pears, creamy brie, toasted nuts, and a sweet fig balsamic drizzle, perfect for entertaining or a sophisticated snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Fruits and Cheese

  • 2 ripe pears, sliced into wedges
  • 1 wheel (8 oz) brie cheese

Nuts and Garnishes

  • ¼ cup walnuts or pecans, toasted
  • Fresh thyme leaves for garnish

Sauces and Oils

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp fig preserves
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

Serving

  • Crackers, toasted baguette slices, or flatbread for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pears: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss the sliced pear wedges in olive oil to coat them evenly, then spread them out on the sheet for roasting.
  2. Roast the Pears: Roast the pears in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes until they become golden and slightly caramelized, which enhances their natural sweetness and flavor.
  3. Make Fig Balsamic Drizzle: While the pears roast, combine fig preserves and balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until well combined and the mixture thickens slightly, then set aside.
  4. Arrange Cheese and Pears: Place the brie wheel on a serving board or platter. Arrange the roasted pear slices artfully around the brie to create an inviting presentation.
  5. Drizzle and Garnish: Drizzle honey and the prepared fig balsamic mixture over the brie and pears. Sprinkle toasted walnuts or pecans on top, then add fresh thyme leaves for a fragrant, colorful finish.
  6. Serve: Serve the board immediately, accompanied by crackers, toasted baguette slices, or flatbread to enjoy with the melty brie and sweet pears.

Notes

  • For a savory twist, add prosciutto or smoked turkey slices to the board.
  • Incorporate grapes, fresh figs, or apple slices for additional color and flavor contrast.
  • Edible flowers can be added for a festive and visually appealing garnish.
  • Serve the dish soon after assembling to enjoy the brie at its creamiest.
  • Ensure pears are ripe but firm to avoid them becoming too mushy after roasting.
