Apples tend to take center stage when it comes to fall and holiday recipes. Pears deserve a chance at the spotlight, don’t you think? For this recipe, choose your favorite variety and what’s almost ripe. Overly ripe pears will become mush in the oven. Here, I used Bartlett and Starkrimson pears. One dynamic duo if I say so myself.

How to Make Honey Roasted Pear and Brie Flatbread

Get this flatbread party started with room temperature brie to spread over the crust. Top with shallots and sprinkle the rosemary over for a solid base of mouthwatering flavor. I like lining a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment to keep clean-up a breeze!

The crust acts as a canvas for creativity when it comes to designing your flatbread. Arrange the pear slices, prosciutto strips, and walnuts to your culinary liking!

The honey drizzle brings all that caramelized flavor home unapologetically. The recipe is simply a starting point. Below are substitution suggestions if you want to change things up a bit.

Don’t have all these ingredients on hand? Here are easy substitutions!

• Not a huge pear fan? Sub sliced apples, or partially cooked sweet potato and butternut squash
• Great cheese substitutions for brie are goat, gruyere, and creamy gorgonzola
• Missing prosciutto? Brown some bacon, pancetta, or simply tear up thinly sliced ham
• Easily replace shallots with an obvious onion, or sliced mushrooms and bell peppers
• Caramelized walnuts added an awesome crunch as would pecans or cashews
• For sweetness, use maple syrup or agave if you don’t have honey

Hope you enjoy! Cheers to fall!! xo, Kim
