Caramelized Pear And Melted Brie On Brioche

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 350u00b0 F.

2. 2

   Cut the sliced brioche in half to make triangular wedges and line them up on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until toasted but not too toasty, about 6 minutes.

3. 3

   Cut the pears in half. Scoop out the core and any tough surrounding flesh. Slice the pears to about 1/4 inch thick. Heat the butter in a non-stick skillet to medium-high heat. Mix in the olive oil. Place the pear slices in the pan, making sure not to crowd them. Sear until caramelized, about 3 minutes.

4. 4

   Spread a generous covering of brie on your brioche slices. Top with 1 to 2 pear slices, caramelized side up. At this point, you can opt to broil the assembled toasts just long enough to melt the brie or leave as is.

5. 5

   Drizzle the finished toasts with a few drops of lemon juice. Top with a couple flakes of Maldon and some freshly cracked black pepper.
