Ingredients

  • 1 large sheet puff pastry   300g
  • 2 medium pears sliced
  • 50 g gorgonzola cheese
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 100 g crème fraîche  or cream cheese
  • 1 tbsp honey extra to drizzle
  • fresh thyme
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C or 400°F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Blend together the gorgonzola cheese, olive oil, crème fraîche and honey. Season to taste.
  • Cut the puff pastry into 10 equal rectangles. Score a border around the puff pastry of about 0.5cm and poke the center part with a fork. Brush each border with the egg wash.
  • In the centre spoon in the cheese mixture and top with the sliced pears. I like to leave mine with the skin on, however, this is optional.
  • Bake for around 20 minutes. Once they have a slight nice golden brown colour, take them out.
  • Sprinkle on top the fresh herbs and drizzle more honey on top.
