Notes
Notes
- Feel free to drizzle maple syrup, honey or hot honey on top after baking.
- Use a firm, ripe pear. Very soft pears can become overly mushy during baking.
- Don't overbake the brie. Fifteen minutes is usually enough to warm and soften the cheese without turning it into a puddle.
- If you want to use a 16 oz. Brie wheel, just double the toppings.
