2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
2 Tbsp maple syrup
1 large egg yolk
1 Tbsp water


Instructions

Here's a step-by-step guide to making Brie with the provided ingredients:

    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    • Thaw the frozen puff pastry according to the package instructions.

    • Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle about 1/8 inch thick.

    • Cut the pastry into squares or rectangles, depending on your preference and the size of your Brie slices.

    • Place a slice of Brie cheese on each piece of pastry.

    • Arrange a few slices of ripe pear on top of the Brie.

    • Sprinkle some ground cinnamon and nutmeg over the pear slices.

    • Drizzle a little maple syrup over each piece.

    • Sprinkle fresh thyme leaves over the top for added flavor.

    • In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and water to make an egg wash.

    • Brush the edges of the pastry with the egg wash to help them seal.

    • Fold the pastry over the filling, pressing the edges to seal them.

    • Transfer the prepared pastries to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

    • Brush the tops of the pastries with the remaining egg wash.

    • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

    • Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

    • Enjoy your delicious Brie pastries as a tasty appetizer or snack!
