Chef Brandi Key’s Baked Brie

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl, combine pear, honey, and cinnamon. 

Unwrap the brie and place the cheese in an oven-proof round casserole dish or small cast-iron skillet. Spoon the chopped pear mixture over the brie and cover with foil. 

Place in the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes or until the brie is warmed through and melted. Serve with baguette slices, crostini, or crackers. Makes eight servings. 

Note: There are so many ways to dress up brie. You can use apples or add toasted walnuts to the combo above. If you want more gooey goodness, cut off the brie's top rind, bake it, and add apricot preserves and roasted chopped walnuts. Makes 8 servings.
