Ingredients
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 200°C / 400°F and line a baking tray with parchment.
- Unroll the puff pastry and place it directly on the tray.
- Slice the pears thinly and toss them with lemon juice to keep them fresh.
- Spread the crème fraîche over the pastry, leaving a loose border around the edges.
- Arrange the pears on top without worrying about symmetry.
- Crumble the blue cheese over the fruit and scatter the walnuts between the slices.
- Drizzle lightly with olive oil and finish with thyme and black pepper.
- Bake until the pastry is deeply golden and the cheese has softened, about 18 minutes.
- Let it rest briefly before slicing so the layers settle.
Serving Ideas
Cut this into small squares and serve warm as a snack with wine.
It also works cold the next day, tucked into a lunchbox with a simple salad.
