The flavor of Teleme (TEHL-uh-may) cheese is a cross between those of crème fraîche and Brie. Raymond Hook, a cheese specialist who developed the recipe, recommends Brie as an acceptable substitute. Ingredients:
1 cup tawny port or other sweet red wine |
1 (8-ounce) package dried figs |
2 red bartlett or anjou pears, each cut into 12 slices |
6 (1/2-ounce) slices teleme cheese |
Directions:
1. Combine port and figs in a small saucepan; cook, covered, over low heat 45 minutes or until tender. Remove from heat; let stand 20 minutes.
2. Arrange 4 pear slices on each of 6 dessert plates; top each serving with 1 cheese slice. Divide fig compote evenly among plates.
