A delicious snack made with three food gifts we received last Christmas.

Home-canned Oregon pears, topped with 10 year old Tillamook cheddar, and a drizzle of Tangerine Fig Balsamic vinegar.

This is heavenly.

Baked Brie is a lot of fun to eat and really easy to make. I think I’ll bake some more often.

First, carefully slice off the top crust on your cheese wedge.

Then cover it with your topping. I used one cup of coarsely chopped walnuts that I toasted on the stove for 5 minutes in walnut oil over medium-low heat. I let them cool and then tossed them with a handful of dried tart cherries.

Cover your brie with the topping and bake at 325 until it is melting in the middle- 7-10 minutes depending on your oven. Enjoy with crackers or crusty bread.
