Buffalo Blue Puff Pastry Tartlets With Pears, Fig & Honey Chutney and Chopped Walnuts Recipe

By Katie Bell

Prep time: 20

Cook time: 20

Servings: 18 Canapes / 6-8 starters

Ingredients

140g Buffalo Blue
2 Pears
2 Puff pastry sheets
18 walnuts, chopped (optional)
1 jar of Fig & Honey Chutney (195g)
1 egg beaten

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200 C degrees.
Unfold puff pastry sheet and cut into your desired number of pieces (18 canapes or 6-8 tarts)
Transfer to a parchment lined baking sheet. Placing each about an inch apart.
Score a crust about a half inch from the edge of each tart, and using a pastry brush, paint the beaten egg just across the outer crust of each.
Spread a small spoonful of the chutney across the centre of each, keeping it within the scored lines.
Place 4-5 thin slices of pear in the centre of each, overlapping them like a fan.
Divide the cheese between the tarts, gently pressing it into the pears to ensure that it stays put. Sprinkle over the chopped walnuts (if using).
Bake for 18-22 minutes (slightly less if making canapes) or until the edges are golden brown and the puff pastry is cooked through. Enjoy!

Notes

Tips:

You can use slightly under ripe pears for this recipe as baking them will help soften them.

Ensure your puff pastry is fridge cold to allow it to rise properly
