Roasted Pears with Fig Spread and Brie
Looking for a holiday recipe that’s sure to impress your friends and family? Try my roasted pears with Delallo Foods’ fig spread and brie cheese. This recipe is melt-in-your-mouth delicious and is made from a few simple ingredients.
Ingredients
- 5 ripe pears
- 5 ounces Delallo Foods' fig spread
- 10 ounces brie cheese, cut into 10 pieces, about 1 ounce each
- 4 sprigs rosemary, fresh
Optional Toppings:
- ¼ cup candied pecans
- ½ cup berries, or pomegranate seeds
- ¼ cup cranberries, fresh or dried
Equipment
- baking tray
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper and set it aside.
- Cut the pears in half and core out the seeds using a spoon or melon baller. Leave the skin on.
- I also like to shave a small piece of pear off of the back so the pears can sit flat on the baking tray.
- Add the pears to the baking tray fruit side up.
- Brush a 1/2 tablespoon of fig spread on each pear.
- Remove the rind from one side of the wheel of brie cheese and cut the brie cheese into 10 evenly-sized pieces.
- Stuff the core of the pears with the brie cheese pieces.
- Bake for 25-35 minutes depending on how ripe your pears are. If they are ripe it may only take 25 minutes. If they are less ripe, you may need 30-35 minutes.
- Remove the pears from the oven, place them on a platter and top them with your favorite toppings. Serve warm and enjoy!
