serves 8 AS AN APPETIZER OR 2 AS A MEAL
Oh man, you guys are going to love this appetizer. It’s beyond easy but feels super gourmet. When I’m feeling lazy but still want to impress our guests, this is the recipe I reach for. The biggest time-saver is using store-bought flat-bread called naan, which is a pillowy, doughy Indian bread that you can find fresh in just about any grocery store (my favorite brand is Stonefire). They get layered with Brie, pears, and rosemary and baked until the Brie is melted and gooey and the pears are soft and slightly caramelized. The finishing touch is a drizzle of honey, which really puts this app over the top. This also doubles as a great meal for one or two. If I’m ever home alone, it’s my go-to with a side of chick flicks. No boys allowed!
INGREDIENTS
- 2 naan flatbreads
- 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 8 ounces Brie cheese, rind removed and thinly sliced
- 2 medium pears (any type will work), cored and thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
- Honey
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Place the flatbreads in a single layer on a large baking sheet, or two if they don’t fit. Brush lightly with the olive oil and top evenly with the Brie, pears, and rosemary.
- Bake for 7 to 10 minutes, until the pears have softened and the cheese has melted. Drizzle the flatbreads with 1 tablespoon honey (or more, if desired) and season with a pinch of salt and a couple grinds of pepper. Cut the flat-breads into pieces and serve warm.
