Ok. I know I tend to be a little dramatic when talking about food on here, but I am totally 100% serious when I say: MAKE THIS ASAP.
Nikki made this one night at her house, and I loved it so much that I asked her to make it in Florida as an appetizer for our BBQ dinner. She did, and I have since had 3 other people ask me for the recipe. If you are looking for something to bring to a party or wow your guests, LOOK NO FURTHER! This is beyond delicious. In fact, all this talking about it has made me want some right now.

Ingredients
*For any gathering larger than 5 or 6 people, I would recommend getting the 15 ounce-size brie wheel and doubling the remaining ingredients.
1 (8 oz) round brie cheese
1 tbsp slivered almonds, toasted
2 tsp butter
1 shallot, thinly sliced
1 pear, thinly sliced
Pinch each salt and pepper
1/4 cup pear juice
1 tbsp brandy
2 tsp chopped fresh thyme, (or 1/2 tsp dried)
1 tsp packed brown sugar
Caramelized pear: In nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium heat; fry shallot, pear, salt and pepper until shallot is softened, about 5 minutes.
Add pear juice, brandy, thyme and sugar; bring to boil. Boil, stirring occasionally, until no liquid remains and pear is softened, about 5 minutes *It took me longer, 10+mins*. (Make-ahead: Let cool. Refrigerate in airtight container for up to 24 hours.)
Place brie on foil-lined pie plate or in small cake pan; top with pear mixture. Bake in 350°F oven until cheese is softened, about 10 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with almonds.
