Pear, Caramelized Onion and Brie Bites are like little tastes of Heaven. The sweet onion and pears are perfect with the flaky crusts and creamy tastes of brie.
I have received product/compensation related to Taylor’s Gold Pears to use for #LoveNZFruit. As always though, all opinions stated are my own.
I remember finding out that Australia and New Zealand had opposite seasons from us. It was mind blowing for me as a kids to find out that Santa wore board shorts and went surfing while we were all bundled up waiting ofr him. Then as we got out of school and were laying out by the beach they were getting out the winter clothes. So crazy!!!! Now that I’m older and I like to eat fruit when I want it now when it’ll grow in my backyard I’m so grateful for the lower hemisphere! Because of our opposing seasons I can get pears in the summer! Not just any pears, delicious, juicy and amazing Taylor’s Gold Pears!
I made these Pear, Caramelized Onion and Brie Bites for a friend’s house warming party and I took a few extra pears with me too. Let me tel you, they were gone almost as fast as I put them out! I finished baking them off at her house and while I chopped up the pears I gave everyone in the kitchen a bite. I’m not kidding everyone’s eyes got big and they all asked where I got them. These little bites are so fantastic and combine some of my all time favorites, flaky crust, juicy pear, sweet onions, and creamy brie!
This summer I’ll have some amazing recipes coming to you using fresh pears and apples from New Zealand, along with some other great bloggers! To help get the #LoveNZFruit party started we’re going to have a Twitter party May, 29th at 8 PM EST. There will be prizes (a pair, get it PEAR/PAIR) of Visa Gift Cards up for grabs and tons of Twitter fun. Be sure to follow along with the hashtag #LoveNZFruit and @TaylorsGoldPear on Twitter.

Aubrey,
These bites look and sound incredible. I love the flavor combination and how easy they are. (I also had my mind blown when I learned about the seasons on the other side of the world. I still find it hard to imagine Christmas in the summer!).
