Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pears:
   Peel the pears and cut them into very small cubes. Place the diced pears into a bowl of cold water to prevent browning.

2. Prepare the Filo Pastry:
   Lay out the filo pastry and stack three sheets on top of each other. Using scissors, cut the stacked sheets into squares approximately 7×7 cm in size. You should get about 32 squares.

3. Arrange on Baking Tray:
   Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Arrange the filo squares on the tray and brush each square with melted butter.

4. Assemble the Millefoglie:
   Cut the Brie cheese into thin slices and place a few slices on top of each filo square. Add a spoonful of the prepared pear cubes on top of the cheese. Continue layering in this way to form a millefoglie with four layers. The final layer should consist of Brie and pears, leaving the top exposed.

5. Bake:
   Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F). Place the tray in the oven and bake for 3 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the filo is golden brown.

6. Make Cinnamon Honey Sauce:
   In a small saucepan, combine the acacia honey and cinnamon sticks. Gently heat the mixture, stirring occasionally, until the honey has melted and infused with the cinnamon.

7. Serve:
   Once baked, remove the millefoglie from the oven. Drizzle the warm cinnamon-honey sauce over the top using a spoon, letting the sauce soak into the layers of filo pastry.

8. Enjoy:
   Serve immediately while the millefoglie is still warm, with a side of your favorite drinks or as an elegant starter for your meal.

This simple yet elegant millefoglie, featuring the sweet and savory combination of Brie, pears, and a touch of cinnamon-honey sauce, is sure to impress your guests at any dinner or gathering. Enjoy the delicate crunch of the filo pastry layered with the creamy cheese and sweet pears in every bite!
