Baked Pears in Puff Pastry

I adore these cute Baked Pears in Puff Pastry! They feature mouthwatering brie and almond stuffing, sweet pears, and light and flaky layers of puff pastry. They are a delicious mix of sweet and savory. For this recipe, I call for store-bought puff pastry sheets, which make the recipe a breeze to make. If you are feeling fancy, though, make the puff pastry from scratch. One of my favorite recipes is our quick puff pastry dough, and that recipe is also worth a look.

And the pears! I start making these by preparing the brie and almond stuffing. Next, using a knife, I cut out the pear-shaped cases from the pastry slightly larger than the pear and lay the stuffed pears in the center. Use the remaining dough to cut out leaves for decoration. Finally, brush the pastry with the egg wash and bake until golden brown. Simple and delicious!

To make the Baked Pears in Puff Pastry, you will need the following ingredients:

Steps to make Baked Pears in Puff Pastry

1	Heat oven	5
Preheat the oven to 400 ˚F.
2	Toast almonds	5
In a dry pan, toast 1 cup almonds and set aside to cool.
3	Make stuffing	2
In a food processor, add cooled almonds, ½ cup brown sugar, ½ stick butter, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon cinnamon and process until a smooth paste forms. Transfer to the refrigerator.
4	Prepare pastry	3
On a baking sheet lined with a piece of parchment paper, unroll the puff pastry and cut out 6 pear shapes from the pastry. Use the excess pastry to cut out 12 leaves.
5	Fill pears	3
Fill the cavity of each pear with almond mixture and add a chunk of brie cheese on top. Lay the pears cut side down onto prepared pastry. Roll the edge of the pear-shaped pastry around each pear to keep the brie from leaking during the baking. Attach the leaves.
6	Brush with egg wash	2
Brush the pastry edges with the egg wash.
7	Bake	25
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-30 minutes until golden brown.
8	Serve
Slightly cool before serving and enjoy!
