Mini Tartaletas de Pera y Gorgonzola

Ingredientes

• 2 sheets frozen puff pastry (thawed)
• 1-2 pears
• 3/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
• 3 tbsp walnuts (roughly chopped)
• 1 egg (lightly beaten)
• 1/4 cup lingonberry jam or cranberry sauce

Preparación

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. 2

   Cut each puff pastry sheets into 4-6 equal squares and transfer to the baking sheet.

3. 3

   Score a ⅔ inch / 1.5cm border around each square but don't cut completely through the puff pastry.

4. 4

   Peel the pear, cut it into quarters, remove the core and chop the quarters into little cubes.

5. 5

   Divide the pear cubes, crumbled blue cheese (I use gorgonzola) and chopped walnuts between the puff pastry squares, staying within the border.

6. 6

   Brush the border of the pastries with egg wash and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden brown and the cheese is melted.

7. 7

   Remove the tarts from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes. Top with a little bit of lingonberry jam before serving.
