Filling
- 1 1⁄2 cups grated swiss cheese
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
- 1⁄2 cup goat cheese, crumbled
- 1⁄2 cup pecans, toasted and chopped
directions
- 1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200 °C).
- 2. Peel pears and cut in half. Remove seeds, leaving stems intact. Using a teaspoon scrape out the inside of the pear and set aside. Brush the pear with lemon juice and place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, cut side down.
- 3. Remove the pastry from the package and place on a lightly floured surface. Using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll the pastry to a 10 x 12” (25 X 30 cm) rectangle. Cut pastry into 6 equal rectangles. Cover each pear with a piece of pastry, cutting away excess pastry using a sharp knife. Pierce several holes in pastry using a fork.
- 4. Whisk egg with 1 tbsp (15 mL) of water and brush egg wash on pastry.
- 5. Bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool slightly.
- 6. Preheat broiler to high.
- 7. Mix all of the filling ingredients together in a small bowl along with reserved pear. Turn pears cut side up and divide filling between each. Broil for 1-2 minutes or until cheese begins to bubble. Serve immediately.
