  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and let the prepared puff pastry thaw at room temperature for about 1 hour.
  2. Roll out the puff pastry on parchment paper until about 1/4 inch thick, then score a 1-inch border around the pastry.
  3. Layer the Bartlett pear slices, followed by brie and prosciutto inside the scored border.
  4. Brush the edges of the pastry with the beaten egg to achieve a golden-brown finish.
  5. Sprinkle blue cheese crumbles over the layered filling for added flavor.
  6. Bake the pastry in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.
  7. Toast the chopped nuts in a skillet, then toss them with olive oil, salt, pepper, and herbs.
  8. Allow the pastry to cool, then slice and top with the herbed nuts before serving.
