Did you know?
Walnuts are the seeds from the walnut tree. Said to have come from ancient Persia, where they were consumed by royalty (hence known as the “royal nut”), the walnut is a sweet, rich nut with a thin, slightly bitter skin tucked into a hard shell. They’re typically eaten plain or added to cereals, baked goods and candies. California produces 98 percent of the walnuts grown commercially in the U.S.

Brie With Caramelized Pears & Toasted Walnuts
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]This brie cheese appetizer feels like a soft sweater for your snack board. Creamy brie melts gently beneath caramelized pears scented with rosemary and cinnamon, while toasted walnuts add a welcome crunch. It’s sweet, savory and quietly elegant—the kind of dish that invites lingering, wine refills and the sense that something special is unfolding, even on an ordinary night.
Brie With Caramelized Pears & Toasted Walnuts
- 1 8 oz. brie cheese
- 1 Anjou pear (sliced, or pear of choice)
- 1/4 cup raw walnuts (chopped)
- 1 sprig rosemary
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 4 Tbsp. granulated sugar
- 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
- 2 Tbsp. water
- Sea salt
- Honey (for finishing)
- Heat large skillet over medium heat. Add sugar and spread it evenly across pan. Allow it to melt and caramelize slowly, do not whisk or mix it.
- After a few minutes, when melted and golden, add water to pan to thin out sugar, followed by butter, half the rosemary, and the cinnamon stick to infuse. Rotate pan with handle, not a spatula.
- Once melted, add pears carefully to the mix and cook over medium heat 2-3 minutes, then flip pears and cook another 2-3 minutes. When pears have softened and are glazed, remove from pan to plate.
- If caramel remaining in pan is thick, add splash of water to thin it out. Mix well and add a few spoonfuls to a serving plate for presentation.
- In small pan over medium heat, add walnuts and good pinch of sea salt and toast 2-3 minutes, constantly mixing to avoid burning.
- Add brie cheese to serving plate on top of the spoonfuls of caramel. Top brie with glazed pears, walnuts a few rosemary sprigs. Finish with a drizzle of honey.
