Ingredients:
1.5 Large pear, fresh peeled & cut in ?-in dice
2 Tablespoons brandy
Directions:
Slice cheese wheel in half horizontally.

In medium skillet, melt butter. Add pears and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in brandy and cook 1 minute more. Add chopped rosemary and stir to combine. Remove from heat and spread over bottom half of reserved sliced cheese wheel, reserving 2 tablespoons of the mixture for garnish. Transfer cheese to serving plate.

Return skillet to stove and heat balsamic vinegar and molasses until simmering. Simmer mixture until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Set aside to cool, about 5 minutes.

Pour half the glaze over cheese and reserved mixture; top the remaining half of cheese wheel and pears. Drizzle with remaining glaze, and garnish with walnut halves and rosemary sprigs.
