Brie And Pear Puff Pastry Recipe

1 sheet puff pastry (thawed, approximately 250 g or 8.8 oz)

400 g (14 oz) Brie cheese, rind on, sliced

2–3 pears (medium-sized, about 300–400 g or 10–14 oz total), peeled, cored, and thinly sliced

2–3 tbsp honey (optional, about 30–45 ml)

1–2 tsp fresh thyme leaves (or ½ tsp dried thyme)

1 egg yolk (for egg wash)

1 tbsp water (15 ml, for egg wash)

Preheat the oven: Set to 200°C (392°F).
Prepare the puff pastry: Unroll the thawed puff pastry sheet onto a parchment-lined baking tray. Create a border by folding or pinching the edges up about 1 cm (½ inch) all around to form a raised “frame” to hold the filling.
Assemble the filling: Evenly spread the sliced Brie inside the raised border. Arrange the thinly sliced pears in neat rows or a decorative pattern over the Brie. If desired, drizzle honey over the pears and sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves.
Apply egg wash: Whisk the egg yolk with 1 tbsp water to make an egg wash. Brush it over the raised border of the pastry for a golden, glossy finish.
Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the pastry border puffs up and turns golden brown.
Serve: Allow to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm as an appetizer or light dessert.
