While everyone loves pastry and cheese, the real star of this recipe is theΒ Royal Riviera Pear Butter. This classic pear butter is made with actual Harry & David Pears and perfectly compliments the salty cheese. It also makes a delicious condiment on toast, yogurt, or other recipes. Not to mention, pears and brie go great together, just like in this pear tartlet recipe.

The best thing about this baked Brie is just how easily it comes together. Top the Brie with just a little bit of pear butter, wrap in puff pastry, and pop it in the oven for an flakey, cheesy appetizer everyone will love. While the honey-cinnamon pear topping is delicious, you can also omit that step for an even easier recipe!Β
