Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp olive oil butter, coconut oil
- 1 comice pear peeled, cored, and diced, large
- 3 tablespoons walnut chopped, raw
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds
- 2 tablespoons golden raisins
- 1 tablespoon dried cranberries
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom optional
- 1 pinch salt to taste, sea salt
- 1 Brie cheese 7-ounce wheel
Instructions
- Add everything but the brie cheese to a small skillet and heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture has thickened, pears have softened, and everything appears sticky, about 5 to 8 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Unwrap the brie cheese and use a sharp knife to cut off the top rind (note you can also leave the rind on...either way works). Place cheese in an oven-safe dish (preferably the dish you'll be using for serving). Top with the pear-walnut mixture and bake on the center rack of the oven for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Serve baked brie with choice of gluten-free crackers, sliced pears or apples, and/or toasted baguette.
