Tips:

  • Choose ripe pears: Choose pears that are ripe but still firm. They should be slightly soft to the touch, but not mushy. This will ensure that the pears hold their shape when baked and caramelize nicely.
  • Use a good quality camembert: The quality of the camembert will greatly affect the flavor of the dish. Look for a camembert that is creamy and flavorful. Avoid camembert that is too soft or runny, as it will not hold its shape when baked.
  • Bake the pears and camembert together: Baking the pears and camembert together allows the flavors to meld and create a delicious, gooey center. You can bake them in a baking dish or on a sheet pan.
  • Serve with bread or crackers: Serve the baked pears and camembert with bread or crackers for dipping. This will help to soak up the delicious juices from the pears and camembert.
