Ciabatta Baguette with Camembert and Pears

Recipe ingredients

75 mL (1/3 cup) maple syrup
30 mL (2 Tbsp.) well packed brown sugar
20 mL (1 1/2 Tbsp.) butter
5 mL (1 tsp.) vanilla
1 mL (1/4 tsp.) cinnamon
6 small, ripe Bosc pears
125 g (4 oz) cold Canadian Camembert, cut in 12 thin slices
Coconut topping (see below)
Mint leaves (optional)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).

In a small saucepan over medium heat, stir together maple syrup, brown sugar, butter, vanilla and cinnamon. Cook, stirring constantly, until sugar has melted. Set aside.

Peel pears, cut in half lengthwise and core. Place pears in a shallow, rectangular ovenproof dish that holds 3 L (12 cups). Pour syrup over top and turn pears to cover them with syrup. Arrange them cut side down. Bake for 20 minutes or until pears are soft (less ripe pears take longer to cook). Turn them cut side up and drizzle with syrup.)

Transfer pears, cut side up, to a cookie sheet. Add a little water to remaining syrup to thin; set aside. Top each pear half with a slice of cheese. Sprinkle with coconut topping (see below). Bake until cheese has melted and topping is golden. Arrange 2 halves on each dessert plate, spoon syrup around pears and garnish with mint leaves, if desired. Serve immediately.

Coconut Topping
Combine 50 mL (1/4 cup) sweetened shredded coconut, 15 mL (1 Tbsp.) packed brown sugar and 7 mL (1 1/2 tsp.) soft butter, stirring until like coarse meal.

Suggestion

Instead of coconut topping and Camembert, fill each cooked pear with Canadian Ricotta. Spoon hot syrup over cheese and garnish with chopped hazelnuts. Canned pear halves, well drained, can replace fresh pears.

Cook pears and prepare syrup early in the day and refrigerate. At the last minute, bake or until topping is golden and serve immediately.
