Healthy, because

Even smarter

This is a very unique way to start a meal. It tastes incredible and has a unique flavor combination due to the sweetness of the fruit and the savory cheese. While it's higher in calories, it contains healthy fats, nutrients, and carbohydrates that are all part of a balanced meal. 

Instead of sugar, you can use honey or maple syrup for a more natural variation with other unique flavors.

Preparation steps

1.

Heat the oven to 400° F.

2.

Roll out the puff pastry and cut out four circles of approx. 4" diameter. Lay the circles on a baking tray lined with baking parchment.

3.

Fry the onion rings gently in the oil for about 8 minutes until they begin to change colour, stirring all the time. Add the sugar and season with a little salt and ground black pepper. Spread the onion on the pastry circles, leaving a rim of about 1/2".

Bake for approx. 15 minutes until golden brown.

4.
Heat the butter in a pan over a medium heat and fry the pears gently until they brown slightly. Remove from the heat and drizzle with lemon juice.
5.
Mix the pears with the walnuts, Gorgonzola and rosemary. Remove the tarts from the oven. Spread the pear mixture onto the tarts and serve.
