Core pear halves using a spoon.
Equally press golden raisins mixture into hollowed pear halves.
Tightly seal each stuffed pears half in al foil.
Barbecue onto hot barbecue rack turning bundles from time to time for approximately 30 minutes, to soften pear halves.

Into a small bowl, beat together egg yolk and sour cream; mix into hot sauce.
Stirring, mix in half [1 ounce / 28 g] of crumbled Brie cheese, stirring only to melt the cheese, being careful not to overcook the sauce.
Remove from heat; cover to keep sauce warm.
Open-up pear bundles by folding out al foil to expose pear halves; arrange onto individual plates.
Evenly pour warm cheese sauce over pear halves.
Evenly sprinkle pear halves with remaining Brie cheese crumbs, and serve.
