Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 sheet Puff pastry sheet
- 2 Ripe pears
- 100 grams Gorgonzola cheese
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 50 grams Walnuts
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface into a 10-inch by 12-inch rectangle, if not pre-rolled. Transfer the pastry to the prepared baking sheet.
Using a sharp knife, lightly score a 1-inch border around the edges of the puff pastry, being careful not to slice all the way through. This will create the crust for the tart.
Beat the egg with the water in a small bowl to make an egg wash. Brush the egg wash evenly over the border of the pastry to help it turn golden and crisp during baking.
Slice the pears thinly, keeping the slices uniform for even baking. Arrange the pear slices neatly over the puff pastry, staying within the scored border.
Crumble the Gorgonzola cheese evenly over the pears.
Roughly chop the walnuts and sprinkle them over the pears and cheese.
Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and puffy around the edges.
Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Drizzle the honey over the tart, followed by a sprinkle of fresh thyme leaves for a burst of herbal flavor.
Cut the tart into slices and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Pear Gorgonzola Tart!
