BAKED BRIE WITH CARAMELIZED PEARS, SHALLOTS AND THYME
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!)

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes or until soft and gooey. Serve with sliced sourdough bread and crackers.

Tips:
- Use a ripe but firm brie cheese. A soft brie will be difficult to handle and may break apart during baking.
- If you don't have a baking dish that is large enough to accommodate the brie, you can bake it in a pie plate.
- If you are using a pear topping, be sure to slice the pears thinly so that they cook evenly.
- You can also use other fruits for the topping, such as apples, peaches, or cranberries.
- If you are using a honey topping, be sure to drizzle it over the brie just before serving so that it doesn't burn.
- Serve the brie with crackers, bread, or fruit slices.
Conclusion:
Baked brie with pear topping is a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is also a great way to use up leftover brie cheese. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that will impress your guests.
