Pears and Camembert image

The cheese should be cold, so it can be sliced; the glaze will warm it when poured on top.

Yield Makes 1

Number Of Ingredients 8

One 8-ounce wheel Camembert or Brie cheese, cold
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 large Bosc pear, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch dice
2 tablespoons brandy
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary, plus more for garnish
