Brie and Pear Tart

A sweet and savory Brie and Pear Tart recipe for fall. It’s simple to make, yet looks luxurious!

If you’ve been reading ASP very long, you know, there are very few things I enjoy as much as cheese. In fact I believe cheese to be an ingredient that makes every other ingredient better.

Don’t believe me?

Pear and Brie Tart

Personally, I adore pairing fruit and cheese.

This simple, yet elegant, Brie and Pear Tart recipe holds the perfect balance of sweet and savory. It is not exactly a dessert, or an appetizer… It’s both!

This pear tart is easy to make, and is the perfect appetizer to make-and-take to dinner parties this season.

How to Make Pear Brie Tart

1. Simply fit a pie crust down into a tart pan.
2. Spread soft brie over the bottom.
3. Arrange thin ripe pear slices in the shape of a flower, over the brie.
4. Then brush on a brandy glaze and bake!

Pro Tip: You can get creative with the pattern on top. This flower pattern allows you to squeeze in a lot of pear slices.

Serving Suggestions

Serve this Brie and Pear Tart as a luxurious first course, as a main course with a salad, or as a European-style dessert (meaning not super sweet.)

Anyway you serve this tart, it’s sure to be a show stopper.

Simple Elegant Pear Tart Recipe with Brie – Make this glorious savory-sweet treat with just a handful of ingredients! Fresh pears and soft brie make all the difference.

Servings: 8 slices

Ingredients

US Customary – Metric

• 1 roll-out refrigerated pie crust, or homemade
• 8 ounces ripe brie cheese (1 wedge)
• 3-4 ripe pears
• 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 1/2 tablespoons Pear Brandy or pear schnapps
• Salt

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Roll out the piecrust and carefully fit it down into the tart pan—making sure not to stretch the dough. Fold the excess dough inward and press into the ridges of the pan.
• Slice the brie into thin strips, leaving the rind intact. Cover the bottom of the tart with the brie and press around evenly.
• Cut the pears into super-thin slices. Overlap them around the exterior of the tart pan, leaving a hole in the middle. Then stand the slices up and press into the exposed brie, creating the shape of a rose. Continue to bend and overlap the pears all the way to the center. It will take very thin slices to curl in the middle.
• Mix the brown sugar and pear brandy in a small bowl. Drizzle over the top of the pears; then sprinkle with salt.
• Bake for 30-40 minutes, until the brie is bubbling up and the crust in golden. Sit for 10 minutes before extracting it from the tart pan and cutting.
