blue cheese and pear tart

Blue Cheese and Pear Tart

• 1 sheet thawed frozen puff pastry (8.6 oz.)
• 1 large egg
• 2/3 cup gorgonzola dolce cheese
• 1/2 small onion, sliced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 ripe pear, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves

Preparation

• 1. Preheat oven to 425° with a rack set on bottom. Lay dough flat on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Poke holes all over dough with a fork, leaving the outer inch untouched. Bake until dough starts to puff, about 10 minutes.
• 2. Whisk together egg and cheese until smooth and spread over dough, using a spoon to move mixture toward the corners. Sauté onion in oil in a frying pan until softened. Scatter onion and pear over cheese.
• 3. Bake until pastry is golden brown and egg has set, about 15 minutes. Sprinkle with thyme and cut into squares.
