Equipment

  • Baking Sheet

Ingredients
 
 

  • 320 g ready-rolled puff pastry
  • 1 small egg beaten
  • 200 g mature Cheddar Cheese grated
  • 2-3 pears ripe but firm, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 30 g pecan nuts roughly chopped
  • sea salt for sprinkling

Instructions
 

  • Take the pastry out of the fridge about 20-30 minutes before starting to bring it to room temperature (but keep it in the packet). Unrolling cold pastry will make it crack.
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  • Unroll the puff pastry onto the parchment paper sheet it was rolled in and place it onto a baking sheet.
  • Score a border around the pastry about 1.5cm in from the edge. Brush the edge of the pastry with the egg, if using (it's not necessary, but it will give the edge a lovely deep brown colour).
  • Place the pastry in the oven for 20 minutes. It should puff up and crisp up, and turn light golden brown.
  • Once the pastry is done, take it out of the oven and carefully deflate the puffed-up middle by pressing a spatula down onto it.
  • Scatter the grated cheese all over the centre avoiding the edge.
  • Arrange the sliced pears on top.
  • Bake the tart for 15-20 minutes until the pastry edges are deep golden colour and the pears soften.
  • In the meantime, in a small dry pan, toast the pecan nuts.
  • Once the tart is baked, drizzle the top with honey, scatter the pecans on top and sprinkle with a little sea salt.
  • Serve warm!
