This Pear Baked Brie is beautiful to serve, delicious and most of all super simple to make! Add some fresh fruit, nuts and crackers to a cheese board and have an impressive appetizer! Pear Baked Brie with sliced pears, sliced apples, almonds, grapes, and pear jam  

    What is Brie Cheese?

    Brie Cheese is made from cow's milk. The soft cheese is held in place by an edible rind. Brie has a creamy and buttery flavor that pairs well with fresh fruit, jam, dried fruit and soft bread.  

    Pear Baked Brie Details

    Flavor: Sweet ! This Brie is paired with caramelized pears and fig jam giving it a sweet, buttery flavor. Level of Difficulty: Medium due to caramelizing the pears. This is an extra step but so worth it! Other than caramelizing the pears, you are simply assembling the brie and baking. Time: From start to finish, this Pear Baked Brie will take around 35 minutes. 20 minutes of that is bake time.  

    Ingredients & Substitutions

    • Crescent Roll Dough: Use the pre-made dough in a tube. You can find this in the refrigerated aisle at your grocery store. If substituting, use a puff pastry. Note, using a puff pastry will affect the baking time. This recipe uses puff pastry and is delicious!
    • Pear Jam: The Pear Jam pairs well with the caramelized pears. If pear jam is unavailable, use another fresh jam such as fig, apricot or blackberry.
    • Pear: If fresh pears are unavailable, substitute an apple. Honeygold, Gala and Fiji Apples work well. Be sure to have additional sliced fruit for serving!
    • Salted Butter
    • Brown Sugar
    • Cinnamon
    • Brie Cheese Round
    • Egg: Substitute egg whites or use water.
     
    Pear Baked Brie Ingredients: pears, butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, pear jam, brie. Note, crescent rolls are not photographed.

    How To Make

    1. Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    2. Caramelize the pears. To a small pan, melt the butter. Mix in the brown sugar and cinnamon. Add the sliced pears and mix with the butter mixture. Allow pears to simmer for about 5 minutes stirring often. Let cool.
    3. Prep the crescent rolls. Remove the crescent rolls from tube and break into two squares. Squeeze the seams together.
    4. Spread the jam. Spread pear jam onto one of the crescent roll squares.
    5. Add the brie. After slicing off the top of the brie rind, place the brie on top of the pear jam.
    6. Add the pears. Place caramelized pears on top of the brie.
    7. Seal the brie. Place the remaining crescent rolls square on top of the brie. Seal the crescent roll seams together.
    8. Use egg wash. In a small bowl, beat the egg to combine. Brush the egg wash on top of the crescent roll.
    9. Bake. Bake the brie for about 20 minutes until the crescent roll becomes golden.
    10. Enjoy! Allow the brie to cool. Serve warm.
     

    Expert Tips

    • Use parchment paper on your baking sheet. This will save the brie and crescent roll from sticking to the pan and will allow you to easily transfer the brie to a serving tray.
    • Leave the crescent rolls in the refrigerator until you are ready to use them. If they become too warm, the rolls will stick together and you will have difficulty spreading them out.
    • Seal the seams of the crescent rolls before adding the jam and brie. This will prevent the jam and brie from oozing out.

    What To Serve with Baked Brie

    This Baked Brie makes a delicious appetizer! Serve this brie with:
    • Fruit: Use pear slices, apples and grapes. These fruits pair well with the brie and add a healthy touch to a cheese board.
    • Jam: Serve any remaining jam on the side.
    • Nuts: To add a salty element, add some almonds the board.
    • Crostini or Crackers

    Can you eat the Cheese Rind?

    Yes, you can eat the cheese rind on the brie. I recommend removing the top of the rind when baking as this allows the brie to bubble and become melty. Keep the sides and bottom of the rind on as this will keep the brie in place and prevent it from oozing everywhere.  

    Need a drink to go with your cheese?

    If you are taking this to a happy hour, pair this appetizer with this Simple Peach Sangria with Rose Wine or these Party Cosmopolitans! Both drink recipes make a batch to share.   If you make this Pear Baked Brie with Caramelized Pears and Jam, be sure to leave a review and tag @delmarvaliciousdishes!
