Spicy Peach Brie Tart with Pistachio and Herbs
Brie and Peach is just a fabulous combination so I had to make this delicious recipe that combines it with chili and a flaky crust! This is a delicious vegetarian appetizer- a puff pastry with melted brie topped with caramelized peaches in chili oil and topped with fresh basil, pistachios, and honey. It is such an easy recipe to make and so good! The combination of flavors and textures is just insane! You need o try this, especially during peach season. I had tried something like this in Europe in an orchard and it was heavenly! I hope you try this and love it as much as we all did. This is a delicious addition to a charcuterie board as well.
Happy Cooking!

Notes/Tips:
Make sure the peach slices aren’t too thick so that it cooks through.
Skip the nuts if you are allergic.
You can use rosemary instead of basil if you want.
Don’t skip the honey drizzle on top, it brings it all together.
You can use goat cheese instead of brie if you like.
You can make more of this chili oil and keep and use it on anything you want. It is fantastic!
