Ingredients for Brie and Pear Puff Pastry
- Puff Pastry
- Brie
- Pear
- carmalized onion
- candy pecans
- honey
- thyme
Caramelized Onions
The most cooking you will do for this recipe is making the caramelized onions, but they are so worth it! Cooming down the onions takes about 10-15 minutes since we are only using 1 onion. Be careful not to burn the onions, I do this a lot cause I get sidetracked, haha. As long as they’re not black and crispy you are good.
Storage
This puff pastry tart is best served fresh, right t out of the oven when the brie is still melty and gooey. However, its best stored in the fridge in plastic or foil wrap. Reheat in the air fryer or oven for best results.
