Categories     Cheese     Dessert     Sauté     Pear     Fall

Yield 4 People

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 small (10- to 12-ounce) wheel soft, runny cheese such as Harbison or triple-cream brie, room temperature
4 ginger snap cookies, crumbled
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 ripe pears (Bartlett or other soft-fleshed variety), cored and halved
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 sprigs thyme
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons cider vinegar

Steps:

  • 1. Divide cheese and crumbled cookies evenly among four plates. 2. Set a small pan over medium heat. Once hot, add oil. Season pears with salt and pepper. Place pears, skin side up, in pan. Once surfaces of pears are caramelized, about 5 minutes, flip pears and add butter and thyme to pan. Cook pears, constantly basting with butter, until warmed through and just fork tender, about 4 minutes. Place one pear half over cheese on each plate. 3. Add honey and vinegar to pan with thyme and browned butter. Cook over medium heat until sauce begins to bubble aggressively, about 1 minute. Discard thyme and stir sauce until it darkens and thickens, about 2 minutes. 4. Drizzle caramel sauce over pears. Serve immediately.

I'm going to try this recipe with different types of cheese. I think it would be great with a sharp cheddar or a blue cheese.

These pears are delicious, but they're a bit too sweet for my taste.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pears didn't turn out as well as I hoped. They were a bit too tart.

These pears are a great way to use up leftover cheese. I always have a bit of cheese left over after a party, and this is a great way to use it up.
