Warm Brie with Fuji apples, pears and Melba toast

Ingredients:

• 1 large Fuji apple
• 1 large red or brown pear, slightly underripe
• A wedge of lemon
• A circle of brie cheese weighing 0.5 kg.
• 24 Melba toast with sesame, any manufacturer

Preparation:

1. Cut the apple and pear lengthwise into quarters and remove the cores. Slice the fruit into 0.5 cm thick slices. Sprinkle the pears and apples with a little lemon juice to prevent them from browning.
2. Cut the top rind off the brie and microwave it on high power for 60 seconds. Depending on the maturity of the cheese, it will melt on high power in 60-90 seconds. If the cheese isn't hot and melted after 1 minute, return it to the microwave for another 30 seconds.
3. Serve the softened, warm Brie on a platter with fruit and Melba toast for dipping and spreading. If the cheese is too long, microwave it on high power for 20-30 seconds.
