Ingredients

• 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
• 2 medium Pear (ripe but firm)
• 200 grams Brie cheese
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Remove the puff pastry sheets from the freezer, allowing them to thaw for 10 minutes or until pliable.

Step 3

Peel and core the pears, then slice them into thin wedges.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon. Toss the pear slices with this mixture until well coated.

Step 5

On a lightly floured surface, unfold the puff pastry sheets and gently roll them out into a slightly larger square. Cut each sheet into 6 equal squares for a total of 12 squares.

Step 6

Cut the brie cheese into thin slices, ensuring you have enough for each turnover.

Step 7

Place 1 to 2 slices of brie and a few pear slices onto the center of each pastry square, leaving some space around the edges for sealing.

Step 8

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash.

Step 9

Brush the edges of each pastry square with the egg wash, then fold them diagonally to form triangles. Press the edges together to seal, using the tines of a fork to crimp and secure.

Step 10

Transfer the turnovers to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them out to allow room for expansion.

Step 11

Brush the tops of the turnovers with the remaining egg wash for a golden finish.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the turnovers are puffed and golden brown.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.

Step 14

Serve warm and enjoy these flaky, cheesy, and fruity delights!
