This puff pastry tart is an impressive and delicious dessert that is so easy to pull together.
Serves: 10 slices
Ingredients
  • 1 sheet puff pastry
  • 3-4 pears
  • Egg wash (1 egg + 1 teaspoon water beaten)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 ounces gorgonzola, crumbled
Instructions
  1. Set the frozen puff pastry out in room temperature for 40 minutes.
  2. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees and line a baking pan with parchment paper.
  3. Slice the pears.
  4. Place the puff pastry sheet on the baking pan and roll out into a rectangle.
  5. Using a paring knife draw a rectangle about 1-inch in from the edge. Be careful not to cut all the way through the pastry, just about half-way. It should look like a picture frame. Then use a fork to score the inside of the rectangle.
  6. Brush the egg wash on the entire puff pastry then sprinkle with the tablespoon of sugar.
  7. Line the sliced pears on the inside rectangle of the puff pastry, flat side on the pastry, curved side up. I did mine in two rows alternating between green and red slices.
  8. Drizzle with honey then sprinkle on the Gorgonzola.
  9. Bake for 20 minutes until the edges are nicely browned.
  10. Let cool slightly, then cut and serve. It’s best when served immediately.
