Ingredients
2 Green onions
2 Tbsp mild and fruity Extra Virgin Olive Oil such as Buona Cucina Biancolilla
1 Pear
¼ cup brown sugar
¼ cup apple juice (or apple cider)
2 Tbsp Buona Cucina Cinnamon Pear Dark Balsamic Vinegar
1 (4oz) round of Brie¼ cup chopped walnuts
Directions
Wash and trim the green onions. Finely chop them, separate the greens from the whites and set aside.
In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, sauté the whites of the green onions in the olive oil until just soft about 1 min.
Peel, core, and roughly chop the pear into ½ inch pieces. Add the pear, sugar, apple juice, and vinegar. Slowly bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, then turn down the heat to medium. Simmer on medium heat, allowing the pear to caramelize and thicken, 10-12 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350 F
Place the Brie in an ovenproof serving dish or Brie baker. Pour the pear and caramel over top and sprinkle with the walnuts. Bake for 10 minutes, just to soften the Brie.
Sprinkle with green parts of the green onions, Serve warm with a fresh baguette, crostini, or crackers.
