Pear and Blue cheese tart

Pear and Blue cheese tart

Serves 4–6 | Prep 15 mins | Cook 25 mins

Ingredients

  • 1 sheet ready-rolled puff pastry (about 320g)
  • 4 pears, cut into wedges and cored
  • 25g butter
  • 2–3 tbsp Roast Onion Infused Balsamic
  • 150g creamy blue cheese
  • 1 tbsp Burren Balsamics Blackberry & Thyme Balsamic Pearl Bursts
  • A large handful of rocket
  • A drizzle of good olive oil

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Unroll the pastry onto a lined baking tray. Score a border about 2cm in from the edge, but don’t cut all the way through.
  2. Melt the butter in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the pear wedges and cook for 3–4 minutes, turning once, until they start to colour.
  3. Pour in the Roast Onion balsamic and let it bubble for a couple of minutes. Turn the pears so they’re glossy and coated in the sticky glaze.
  4. Arrange the pears inside the scored border and spoon over any glaze left in the pan. Crumble the blue cheese in between the pears.
  5. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the pastry is puffed and golden and the cheese has melted.
  6. Let it cool for a few minutes. Dot over the Blackberry & Thyme Pearl Bursts, pile the rocket on top, then slice and serve.
