A different way to serve up a bite size appetizer full of flavour and texture. Enjoy a rich double cream brie that matches up perfectly with the slight crispness of the baguette slices.

Instructions

Slice baguette on a diagonal into ½ inch (1 cm) thick slices to get 12 slices; set aside.

In shallow dish, whisk together eggs, cream, chives, salt, pepper and curry powder. Dip each slice into egg mixture, turning to coat well.

Melt butter in large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat and panfry baguette slices, in batches if necessary for about 4 minutes turning once or until golden. Repeat with remaining baguette slices.

Place baguette slices onto foil lined baking sheet and top with pear slices and brie. Place pan about 6 inches (15 cm) under broiler for about 3 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly. Garnish with chives to serve.
