Ingredients
Instructions
- Set the oven and prepare the pan. Preheat the oven to 350°F, adjust a rack to the center and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Cook the bacon. Add the bacon strips to a medium-sized sauté pan and place it over medium heat. Cook until it's golden and crispy, a few minutes per side. Set it aside on a double layer of paper towels to drain.
- Cook onions with thyme and persimmons. Add the onion to the pan. (If there isn't a thin layer of bacon grease in the pan, add a bit of olive oil.) Sauté, stirring frequently, until the onions are soft and golden, about 10 minutes.Add the thyme and cook until it's aromatic, about 30 seconds. Turn the heat to low-medium and mix in the persimmons.
- Add bacon and cinnamon to onions and season. Crumble or finely chop the bacon and add it to the pan. Add the cinnamon and season to taste with salt and pepper, stir and let it cool to room temperature.
- Assemble. Slice the brie in half horizontally from the tip to the rind, being sure not to cut all the way through, and place it on the parchment lined baking sheet.Gently lift the top half of the brie and add about ½ to ¾ of the persimmon mixture, in an even layer. Then add the rest on top.
- Add honey and bake. Drizzle with the honey and place in the preheated 350°F oven just until the cheese begins to melt, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Serve. Serve with crackers or a sliced, toasted baguette.
