Calories 246cal
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
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the sheet of puff pastry on the prepared baking sheet and poke with a fork a few times all over.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese all over the puff pastry, leaving a 1 inch layer on the sides. Add on the sliced pears.
- 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.
- 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.
