Pie with Camembert cheese and pear
8 servings
40 minutes
The pie with camembert cheese and pear is a refined combination of delicate puff pastry, tangy camembert, and sweet, juicy pears. This recipe, inspired by Italian cuisine, embodies the traditions of pairing fruits with cheeses to create a perfect balance of flavors. Camembert becomes creamy when baked, soaking into the pastry while pears add natural sweetness and freshness. A light hint of orange zest enhances the aroma, and honey with rosemary gives the dish a noble aftertaste. The pie is not only delicious but also versatile — it is perfect for a cozy breakfast or as an elegant dessert for a festive table.
