Ingredients

  • 1 (9x13) sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 8 ounces shredded spicy cheddar (we use Cabot Habanero cheddar)
  • 2-3 ripe Bartlett pears (make sure they aren’t too ripe!), sliced
  • 1 egg
  • 1-2 tablespoons honey
  • ¼ cup chopped toasted walnuts
  • Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling on top

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place the sheet of puff pastry on the prepared baking sheet and poke with a fork a few times all over.
  3. Sprinkle the shredded cheese all over the puff pastry, leaving a 1 inch layer on the sides. Add on the sliced pears.
  4. In a small bowl, mix together the egg with a fork and use a pastry brush to brush on the edges of the puff pastry crust. This will help to create a nice golden brown crust when baked.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the pastry is deeply golden and crisp. Remove from the oven and drizzle with honey, sprinkle with walnuts and a little flaky sea salt. Use the parchment paper to transfer the tart to a cutting board. Cut into 9 large squares. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Store any leftover tart in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in the oven until heated through.
