Crispy wonton triangles with brie, sautéed pear, and spiced walnut

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 220 °C / 425 °F and line a baking tray with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

2. 2

   In a small skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the shallot and cook for 2 minutes until softened.

3. 3

   Add the pear, salt, half of the black pepper, and the cinnamon. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring, until the pear is tender but not mushy.

4. 4

   Stir in the chopped walnuts and honey. Cook 1 minute more so the filling becomes glossy and slightly thickened. Remove from the heat and let it cool for 5 minutes.

5. 5

   Place one wonton wrapper on the work surface. Put a few cubes of brie in the center and add about 1 teaspoon of the pear filling. Moisten two edges with a little water and fold into a triangle, pressing well to seal. Repeat with all wrappers.

6. 6

   Arrange the triangles on the tray. Brush both sides with the remaining olive oil.

7. 7

   Bake for 6 minutes. Turn the triangles over and bake 6 to 8 minutes more, until deeply golden and crisp.

8. 8

   Remove from the oven and let rest for 2 minutes. Finish with the remaining black pepper and, if desired, a very light drizzle of extra honey before serving.
