Instructions
Creating Prosciutto, Pear and Brie Tarts is a breeze when you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Puff Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to fit your baking sheet. Cut the pastry into squares or circles, depending on your preference.
3. Score the Pastry: Lightly score a border about ½ inch from the edge of each pastry piece. This will help create a raised edge when baked.
4. Add the Cheese: Place slices of Brie cheese within the scored border on each pastry piece.
5. Layer the Pears: Arrange the thinly sliced pears over the Brie, ensuring even coverage.
6. Add Prosciutto: Drape the slices of prosciutto over the pears, allowing some of the edges to hang over for a rustic look.
7. Drizzle with Honey: Lightly drizzle honey over the tops of the tarts for added sweetness.
8. Season: Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and fresh thyme leaves if using.
9. Egg Wash: Beat the egg and brush the edges of the pastry with the egg wash for a golden finish.
10. Bake: Place the tarts in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the pastry is golden and puffed.
11. Cool Slightly: Once baked, remove the tarts from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
12. Serve Warm: Transfer the tarts to a serving platter while still warm.
