Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 1/2 cup gruyere cheese, grated
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
- 2 medium pears, cored and thinly sliced
- Honey
- Coarse sea salt
Instructions
- Heat oven to 400°F. Line a small baking sheet with parchment. (I love my quarter sheet pans for recipes like this!)
- Roll puff pastry dough out into a thin rectangle, folding the outside edges over to make a half-inch border.
- Sprinkle puff pastry dough with cheese and thyme. Arrange sliced pears on top, layering them close together.
- Place in the oven and bake 20 min or until puff pastry is golden.
- Remove from oven and drizzle with honey. Sprinkle with salt.
- Cut into squares and serve.
Notes
- If you can't find gruyere, you can try substituting Jarlsberg or Emmental. I also really like many of Sartori's cheeses in this recipe, such as the rosemary Asiago, Bellavitano, or aged cheddar.
- I don't recommend making this recipe in advance, as the pastry will get soggy and the pears may brown.
