pear tart

tarts are wonderful, and so is puff pastry. elegant and delicious, yet also requiring little effort. if you can remember to thaw it overnight this recipe takes about thirty minutes, prep and bake.

1/3 onion

1 tbsp butter

1tbsp olive oil

2 red pears

1/2 cup shredded parmesan

1 sheet puff pastry

salt/pepper to taste

i ALMOST put a little dijon mustard in with the onions as they sauteed, but didn't. i'm going to when i make this again.

saute the onions in butter/olive oil while you prebake the pastry a bit at 400 degrees (maybe 5-10 minutes). slice the pears horizontally (leave them unpeeled). after removing the puff pastry from the oven, layer the onions, followed by the pears, followed by the cheese. return to the oven for about twenty minutes.
