Warm Brie with Pear & Georgia Honeycomb
When the mornings turn chilly in Georgia, I become a happy homebody, and nothing says cozy like a warm, gooey round of brie. This Warm Brie with Pear and Georgia Honeycomb takes just five ingredients and about twenty minutes. Fresh pear, golden honeycomb and crunchy mixed nuts make every cracker a perfect bite. If you love my Mushroom & Sweet Onion Baked Brie, this one is a must.
Moreover, local honeycomb adds a natural sweetness and a beautiful look to the board. Equally important, it takes almost no effort, so it is perfect for last-minute guests.
In essence, it is warmth on a platter. Pair it with my Mini Fig & Brie Bites for a brie-lover’s spread.

Everything I Love for this recipe
Skillet
The skillet I use to cook the mushrooms and sweet onions down until they are golden and jammy.
Cling wrap
Wraps the brie tightly when you prep ahead, so it stays fresh and never absorbs other fridge flavors.
Marble Board
Marble naturally stays cool, which keeps the baked brie soft and spreadable while you serve.
Mushroom Brush
Gently brushes dirt off the mushrooms without soaking them, so they brown beautifully.
Chef’s Knife
Slices the mushrooms and sweet onion thin and even in no time.
Bamboo Cutting Boards
A set of boards so the onions, mushrooms and herbs each have their own prep space.
Garlic Press
Minces fresh garlic straight into the pan with no sticky fingers.
French Rolling Pin
Rolls the puff pastry out smooth and even so it wraps neatly around the brie.
Pastry Brushes
Brushes on the egg wash for a glossy, deeply golden crust.
Silicone Baking Mat
Keeps the pastry-wrapped brie from sticking and makes lifting it onto the board easy.
Half Sheet Pan
Bakes the brie evenly and catches any cheese that bubbles out of the pastry.
Brie Baker
Bakes and serves the brie in one pretty dish, spreader included.
