pear and bacon compote brie cheese recipe


It’s the end of November which means entertaining season has officially begun. I have decided to share a lot more entertaining recipes and hints for the next month.
Being gluten free can mean a bit more of a challenge when hosting events or socials but it should not stop you either. I will be sharing lots of hot and cold appetizers as well as things to keep in your pantry and fridge to help in hosting last minute guests.
I am also going to share my love for antipasto platters and will show you how you can do it yourself.
Last year I shared a new cookie recipe everyday for 21 days and I will still throw in some new sweet recipes.
Today I am sharing a new gluten free appetizer recipe which involves crispy bacon, sweet and spicy pears and melted Brie cheese.
Need I say more?
This recipe is quite easy to put together too and you only need a frying pan, a cookie sheet or Brie baking dish and gluten free crackers.
Here is the recipe:
