We're super excited to share a fantastic recipe that will bring a touch of gourmet style to your wintery tables. This recipe combines the creamy richness of Brie with the sweet, juicy goodness of pears, all nestled in a golden, flaky puff pastry. Perfect for any occasion, especially those cosy winter evenings. Let's dive in!
Ingredients:
- 1 sheet of puff pastry (approximately 250 grams)
- Brie, sliced (approximately 200 grams)
- 1 pear, thinly sliced (approximately 150 grams)
- 2 tbsp honey (approximately 30 grams)
- Fresh thyme leaves (a small handful, approximately 5 grams)
Method:
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 200°C. This ensures your tart bakes evenly and develops that perfect golden crust.
- Prepare the Puff Pastry:Â Roll out the puff pastry on a baking sheet. If you're using frozen puff pastry, ensure it's fully thawed.
- Assemble the Tart:Â Arrange the Brie and pear slices alternately on the pastry, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Add the Finishing Touches:Â Drizzle the honey over the Brie and pear slices and sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves for a hint of earthy flavour.
- Bake: Place the tart in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until the pastry is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve: Once baked, remove the tart from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it warm for the best flavour. We hope you love this Brie and Pear Tart as much as we do.
