Servings: 8 people
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup walnuts pieces - optional
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup salted butter – chunked cold
- 3-4 tablespoons ice cold water – add water and mix until dough pulls together

- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 F.
- Mix together your walnut pieces, flour, sugar and salt.
- Add cold butter chunks to the flour mixture and cut in with a pastry cutter, fork or your hands until pea or larger sized butter pieces are found.
- Add in the cold water as you mix until dough comes together into a ball.
- Roll out dough into a large circle or rectangle (personal preference on the shape) and lay on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet.
- Add 1 tablespoon of honey then brie, with or without the rind on, it's fine to eat but if you don't like it then trim it off.
- Add the other tablespoon of honey to the top of the brie round followed by the sliced pear, walnuts and pinch of salt.
- Fold dough around the sides of the cheese and pears.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until dough gets slightly golden or feels cooked when pressed on and cheese gets nice and melted.
- Remove from the oven and drizzle with warm honey.
- Enjoy!
