Ingredients
  

1 sheet of puff pastry (thawed)

2 ripe peaches, sliced thinly

8 oz Brie cheese, rind removed and cut into thin slices

2 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves, finely chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary)

1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)

1 tablespoon brown sugar (optional)

A pinch of salt

Freshly cracked black pepper (to taste)

Balsamic glaze (for drizzling)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Puff Pastry: On a clean, lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry to smooth out any creases. Cut the pastry into four equal squares, each approximately 4 inches by 4 inches.

      Score the Edges: Using a sharp knife, gently score a 1/2-inch border around the edge of each square, being careful not to cut all the way through. This scoring will allow the edges to puff up beautifully as they bake.

        Position the Tarts: Carefully transfer the pastry squares onto the lined baking sheet. Use a fork to prick the center of each square several times; this helps prevent excessive puffing in the middle.

          Layer with Brie Cheese: Arrange the thin slices of Brie cheese evenly within the scored border of each tart, allowing the cheese to melt and become deliciously gooey as it bakes.

            Add the Peaches: Gently layer the sliced peaches on top of the Brie in an overlapping pattern for visual appeal. Sprinkle each tart with a pinch of salt, freshly cracked black pepper, and the chopped rosemary to enhance the flavors.

              Sweeten with Honey: Drizzle honey generously over the fruit and cheese, adding a delightful sweetness that complements the savory notes of the Brie.

                Egg Wash: Brush the exposed borders of the pastry with the beaten egg. This will give the tarts a beautiful, golden-brown finish while baking.

                  Optional Brown Sugar: If desired, sprinkle a light dusting of brown sugar over the peaches to add an extra layer of sweetness and a slight crunch.

                    Bake the Tarts: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed up beautifully.

                      Cool and Drizzle: Once baked, remove the tarts from the oven and let them cool for a few moments. Just before serving, drizzle with balsamic glaze to introduce a tangy contrast to the sweetness of the honey and peaches.

                        Serve and Enjoy: These tarts are best enjoyed warm. Serve them as a flavorful appetizer or a delightful dessert!
