Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed)
- 2 ripe pears (sliced)
- 8 oz Brie cheese (sliced)
- 2 tsp fresh rosemary (finely chopped)
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out puff pastry on a floured surface to about ¼ inch thick and transfer it to a parchment-lined baking sheet.

- Spread Brie slices over the pastry, leaving an edge. Layer caramelized pears on top.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
- While baking, combine balsamic vinegar and honey in a saucepan over low heat until slightly thickened.
