Mini Pear and Gorgonzola Tarts

Both sweet and salty, these tartes are made using fresh pear and creamy Gorgonzola — a real treat for the senses.

Ingredients (for 15 tarts):

• 2 sheets puff patry (thawed)
• 2/3 cup fig jam
• 2 pears (thinly sliced)
• 5 oz. Gorgonzola cheese (crumbled)
• 1 egg (beaten)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 4000°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Unfold the pastry and cut out three long rectangles.
3. Slice each triangle into an equal size square. Repeat with the second pastry sheet. Transfer to the parchment paper.
4. Using a knife, place a dimple in the dough a half-inch away from the edge of.
5. Spread a tsp of fig jam across the center of each tarte, before placing 3-4 slices of pear on top of that. Make sure the slices overlap one another.
6. Divide the Gorgonzola between the tarts, and gently press into the pear so that it stays put.
7. Bake for 20 min. until the edges are a golden brown.
8. Enjoy!
