A rustic, savory-sweet galette featuring tender pears, tangy blue cheese, and a crunchy walnut crumble, perfect for a fall appetizer or light meal.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1 sheet store-bought puff pastry, thawed
- 2 ripe but firm pears, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out puff pastry on the prepared sheet into a rough 12-inch circle. Arrange pear slices in overlapping circles on the pastry, leaving a 2-inch border.
- Sprinkle blue cheese and thyme over the pears. Drizzle with honey and olive oil, then season with black pepper.
- Fold the pastry edges over the filling, pleating as you go. Brush the crust with beaten egg.
- In a small bowl, mix walnuts with any remaining honey or a drizzle of oil, then sprinkle over the galette center.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until crust is golden and pears are tender. Let cool slightly before serving.
