Duck Bacon Pear and Brie Baked Wontons
Delicious duck bacon is paired up with sweet pears and creamy brie in these glammed up baked wontons. Duck Bacon Pear and Brie Baked Wontons will wow your guests and please your taste buds.
It didn’t make it to the list because I forgot to put it on there. I’m still throwing it up there. I mean, how can I NOT include it? There’s BACON in it! DUCK BACON! Maple Leaf Farms DUCK BACON!
See what I mean?
Crispy, crunchy, delicious Maple Leaf Farms duck bacon sits on top of creamy brie cheese with a sliver of pear for to offset some of the saltiness in the bacon. Yes, it was difficult NOT eating all of the ingredients, thank you for asking! I also made some mini meat pies with the ground duck they sent me.
This is how you test your manual dexterity. I have not stuffed many wontons in my life. These duck bacon pear brie baked wontons really did test my patience, but after the first couple I was able to fold the remainders with ease. If you follow my detailed instructions on how to fold the wontons, it will help.
It also helps if you trim your fingernails!
I accidentally poked through a few of mine with my talons. Cursing them by the time I did the second one; I wanted them to be all purdy and not full of claw holes.
How impressive are those delicious golden lines I was hoping for? They actually did show up. I have tried other baked nibbles that I have seen and they didn’t quite look like the picture. These, however, came up picture perfect!
Some of the cheese leaked out of these duck bacon pear and brie baked wontons. Oh well!
It was a shame that I had to eat that bit of brie that cooked on the pan. I know. As a foodie I make sacrifices like that all the time. *snort*
See how pretty they are? The filling is sweet, creamy, and crunchy and the outside is also crunchy. They were fabulous! S and I ate several after the photo shoot took place.
They did kind of deflate, but that’s due to the cheese melting. Brie has a habit of doing that. You could easily swap it out for a sharp cheese, maybe a havarti or something? Oh. That would be good! Gruyere? Oh yeah, baby! Now I’m drooling again.
Some of them didn’t get quite sealed. Oops. Those are the rejects that you get to eat. It’s a shame. Food rejects. LOL Again, sacrifices as a foodie.
Just look at that tasty duck bacon. I couldn’t even imagine the flavor, but it’s a rich and delicious flavor like no other. Thank you Maple Leaf Farms for sending me such delicious ingredients to cook with! I never would have tried duck or even duck bacon if it wasn’t for their graciousness and for +Camilla Mann who coordinated this fabulous event!
