BAKED BRIE WITH CARAMELIZED PEARS, SHALLOTS AND THYME
Brie baked in a round sourdough bread bowl makes this ultimately easy! You could substitute a sweet chutney for the topping for even easier prep. I microwaved the final product for a few minutes to speed up the cooking (couldn't wait for it to be ready!)

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add shallot; cook and stir for 1 minute to soften. Add thinly sliced pears; cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Pour in white wine, brown sugar, thyme, salt, and pepper; increase heat to medium-high and simmer until the liquid has evaporated, and the pears have lightly caramelized, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
- Cut a Brie-sized hole in the top of the sourdough bread to within 1/2-inch of the bottom. Cut the removed bread into pieces for serving, set aside. Score the Brie around it's edge, using a paring knife to cut 1/4-inch deep. Cut in half by looping an 18-inch piece of very thin string, or unflavored dental floss around the scored Brie and pulling the ends in opposite directions.
- Place the bottom half of the Brie, cut-side-up, into the sourdough loaf. Top with 1/2 of the pear mixture and sprinkle with 1/2 of the slivered almonds. Place the remaining brie half on top, spread with remaining pear mixture, and sprinkle with remaining slivered almonds. Place on a baking sheet.
- Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes or until soft and gooey. Serve with sliced sourdough bread and crackers.

Tips:
- To make the phyllo dough easier to work with, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before using.
- If you don't have a baking dish that's large enough to fit the brie, you can use a 12-inch cast iron skillet instead.
- To keep the phyllo dough from drying out, brush it with melted butter between each layer.
- Bake the brie until the phyllo dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let the brie cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
- Serve the brie with crackers, bread, or fruit.
