Warm Brie with Peaches & Thyme

A first!  A cooking session.   A good friend wanted to learn how to cook more veggie dishes for his wife.  How fun was this?  We cooked in the afternoon, his wife and our other friends joined us for dinner.

This was the appetizer...

1 Brie cheese, I like the ones in rounds
2 Peaches, cut in slices
1 Tbsp of extra virgin olive oil
1 Tsp of fresh thyme, plus more for garnish
1 Tbsp of honey, we used a peach flavored
2 Tbsp of balsamic, we used blueberry
1 Tbsp of really good, grassy olive oil

1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees
2. Place brie on cookie sheet or foil and bake for about 10 min until soft.
3. While brie is baking, place 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a sautee plan over medium heat, ad thyme.  Let pan heat up and thyme flavor the oil.  
4. Add peaches and sautee until caramelized and with some nice brown spots, set pan aside.
5. Take brie out of oven and place on a large plate.
6. Place the honey over the top of warm brie.
7. Arrange peaches around and over the brie
8. Drizzle the balsamic evenly over the peaches and brie.
9. Drizzle olive oil over to finish.
10. Serve immediately.

I had originally planned to use figs or pears but when I was at the grocery store, the aroma of peaches in the produce department was undeniable. Feel free to substitute different produce for the fruit component of this dish.  You can even add some toasted nuts like walnuts or pecan.
