Prep time: 10 minutes
Total time: 14 minutes
Serves 12
Ingredients
1/2 cup pear preserves
2 tablespoons sweet white wine (try a Riesling)
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped
2 (8 ounce) rounds Brie
1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
Fresh thyme springs and walnut halves to garnish
Instructions:
Combine the first 3 ingredients in a small bowl, set aside. Cut each round of Brie into 6 wedges. Place wedges close together on a lightly greased baking sheet and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of the chopped walnuts. Bake at 450 degrees F for 4 minutes or just until cheese begins to soften in the center. Meanwhile, microwave preserves on high for 20 seconds or just until thoroughly heated. Remove the Brie from the baking sheet and place on a serving platter. Spoon melted preserves over the Brie and garnish.
