Amazing Filo Tart With Pear And Brie
Delicious and elegant Filo Tart with Pear and Brie that’s sure to impress your family and friends.
Ingredients
- 8-10 sheets of filo pastry
- 1 ripe pear
- 8 oz light brie cheese
- 1 tbsp fig jam
- 4 tbsp honey
- Fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for your delicious tart.
- Prepare the Pear: Take your ripe pear and cut it into thin, even slices, discarding the seeds and stem. This will ensure a beautifully arranged filling.
- Slice the Brie: Carefully slice the brie cheese into thin strips, allowing for easy melting and distribution of flavor across the tart.
- Handle the Filo Pastry: Carefully unroll the filo pastry sheets on a clean, dry surface. To prevent them from drying out, keep the sheets covered with a damp cloth as you work.
- Layer the Filo: Place one sheet of filo pastry on a piece of parchment paper and lightly brush it with oil. Position the next sheet slightly off-center to create an appealing, layered effect. Continue this process, layering 8-10 sheets in a circular pattern to ensure a sturdy base for your tart.
- Add the Filling: In the center of your filo pastry, spoon the fig jam and gently spread it evenly to create a sweet layer. Next, arrange the strips of brie cheese over the fig jam, ensuring an even distribution. Finally, artfully layer the sliced pears on top of the brie, creating a beautiful and inviting presentation.
- Finish with Fresh Herbs: Add a sprinkle of fresh herbs, such as thyme or rosemary, over the pear slices for an aromatic touch that enhances the flavors.
- Sweeten the Tart: Drizzle 1-2 tablespoons of honey over the top of the filling, providing a delightful sweetness that complements the savory elements.
- Create the Rustic Border: Carefully fold the edges of the filo pastry over the filling, creating a rustic, freeform border that leaves the filling exposed for visual appeal.
- Brush for a Golden Finish: Lightly brush the exposed edges of the filo pastry with oil to achieve a beautiful golden hue when baked.
- Bake: Place your tart in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and flaky.
- Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the tart from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes. For an extra touch of sweetness, drizzle any remaining honey over the top before serving.
- Enjoy!
