Upside-Down Puff Pastries with Toppings

Upside-Down Puff Pastries with Toppings

For the puff pastry:

good quality puff pastry, thawed according to package instructions

all-purpose flour for dusting

For the toppings:

You can make this recipe your own by using your favorite toppings.

Here are a few of mine:

honey, for drizzling

olive oil, for drizzling

pears, very thinly sliced

rosemary, finely chopped

brie, sliced into ¼-inch thick slices

salt and pepper, to taste

Preheat your oven to 400˚F.

Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

Prepare the puff pastry by gently rolling out one sheet of puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut into large rectangles that are about 3-4 inches by 4-5 inches. Drizzle a little honey and olive oil down on the baking sheet. Top with a pinch of chopped rosemary, 3-4 slices of pears and then top the pears with one piece of Brie. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, if desired.

Place a prepared piece of puff pastry over the toppings, pressing down around the edges to seal everything in.

Continue forming the puff pastry tarts. Chill for 20-30 minutes to let the puff pastry rest. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until deep golden brown. Let rest for 1-2 minutes, then use a thin spatula to flip upright.
