Pastry Wrapped Pears with Cranberries and Brie
Impress your guests with a beautiful puff pastry dressed pear nestled in with warm brie and cranberry sauce. These Pastry Wrapped Pears with Cranberries and Brie are a delicious easy dessert anyone can make and it only takes a few minutes!
Ingredients
- 1 package puff pastry (I used Wewalka Puff Pastry dough)
- 2 pears, cored, and halved (I used red)
- 1 can whole cranberry sauce (I used Ocean Spray Whole Berry Cranberry Sauce)
- 4 oz Brie (about 4 tablespoons)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F
- Unroll the refrigerated dough with the parchment paper onto the baking tray, and cut into 4 squares.
- Rinse and dry pears then slice in half removing seeds with a spoon size scoop from the core. (You can peel the skin of each pear, if you prefer.)
- Place each puff pastry square over pear halves. Place pears cut side down on sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Press down on puff pastry slightly, then make 4 cuts lengthwise into dough. Brush dough with egg wash.
- Bake for 20-30 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool slightly and fill serving bowl with a couple tablespoons of cranberry sauce. Then fill the pear halves with a tablespoon of brie, that will fit into the hollowed out cavity of the pear where the core once was. Place baked pears on top of cranberries. Serve warm or at room temperature.
