Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 2 large sweet potatoes, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 8 ounces brie cheese, rind removed and cut into small pieces
- 1 ripe pear, peeled and diced
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss sweet potato rounds with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then arrange on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
- While potatoes roast, make the pear chutney: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine pear, red onion, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and slightly thickened.
- Remove sweet potato rounds from oven. Top each round with a piece of brie and return to oven for 3-5 minutes until cheese is melted.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, heat honey and red pepper flakes for 20-30 seconds until warm and infused. Alternatively, heat in a small saucepan over low heat for 2-3 minutes.
- To serve, spoon pear chutney over melted brie on each sweet potato round, then drizzle with hot honey. Serve immediately.
