Pear, feta and walnut tart

Ingredients

• 1 ready-rolled puff pastry sheet (roughly 375 grams / 13 ounces)
• 4-5 tablespoons crème fraiche or sour cream
• 3 small firm pears (or 2 larger ones, cut into thin wedges (about 3mm thick))
• 1/2 cup feta cheese
• 1 handful walnut pieces (lightly crushed / broken)
• a large drizzle of squeezy honey
• freshly ground black pepper
• rocket / arugula salad leaves (to decorate and to serve)

Instructions

1. 1

   Pre-heat the oven to 200C / 390F.

2. 2

   Lay the pastry sheet out on a baking tray lined with baking paper (trim the pastry slightly if you need to), then score a 1.5 – 2cm border all the way around the edge with a knife (taking care not to cut all the way through).

3. 3

   Bake for 7 minutes until the pastry is all puffed up, then remove from the oven.

4. 4

   Push the inside of the tart down inside the border, then spread the crème fraiche / sour cream all over this part. Add the pear slices in an overlapping pattern, then return the tart to the oven for 15 minutes until golden and risen.

5. 5

   Remove the tart from the oven again and crumble over the feta and sprinkle over the walnuts. Bake for another 5 minutes.

6. 6

   To serve, drizzle over a little honey, grind over some black pepper, and scatter over a few rocket / arugula leaves.

7. 7

   Serve with a simple rocket / arugula salad.
