Equipment
- Small bowl (for beating egg yolk)
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry thawed if frozen
- 1 wheel of brie cheese (approx. 200g), thinly sliced
- 2 ripe pear thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup walnuts roughly chopped
- 1/2 tsp dry thyme
- 1 egg yolk for brushing the edges
For Garnish:
- Honey (for drizzling)
- Chili flakes (optional, to taste)
- Fresh basil leaves (for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle (about 10x12 inches) and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Gently fold the edges of the puff pastry inward to create a rustic border. Press lightly to seal the folds.
- Layer the brie slices evenly across the center of the puff pastry, leaving the edges exposed. Arrange the pear slices on top of the brie.
- Beat the egg yolk and brush it over the folded edges of the pastry.
- Sprinkle the walnuts and dry thyme evenly over the top.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and the brie has melted.
- Drizzle honey over the tart, sprinkle with chili flakes (if desired), and garnish with fresh basil leaves. Serve warm and enjoy!
