Ingredients
- 1 - 2 Bartlett pears or Bosc pears
- 4 oz / 120g goat cheese
- 4 - 5 prosciutto slices
- honey
- thyme leaves
- Chilli flakes/crushed red pepper optional
- 1 sheet of square puff pastry 1/2 lb or 1/2 quantity of rough puff pastry, rolled out to a square
Egg Wash
- 1 egg whisked with 2 tbsp water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F/190°C.
- Cut the thawed puff pastry sheet into 9 squares. Place them on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Brush the puff pastry squares with an egg wash.
- Remove the stems from the pears and slice them length-wise.
- Remove the core and trim off the edges so you end up with a pear that's about 2 - 2.5 inches in diameter (slightly shorter than the length of the puff pastry square).
- Using a mandolin or knife, thinly slice the pears. Place about 3 - 4 slices of pears on each pastry square (or transfer the slices into a bowl of cold water mixed with lemon juice to prevent them from browning if you're not using them immediately).
- Crumble the goat cheese on top of the pears. Sprinkle a little crushed chili flakes/crushed red pepper on top (optional).
- Bake the tarts in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, until the puff pastry is puffed up and golden brown.
- Cut each prosciutto slice in two.
- When the tarts come out of the oven place a small pile of prosciutto on top (1/2 - 1 slice of prosciutto). Drizzle some honey and thyme on top before serving.
- Serve while warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
