STEP BY STEP

Let’s make it, step by step

  1. 01

    Fold a border

    Unroll the pastry on baking parchment. Fold the edges inward to make a small raised border.

  2. 02

    Layer the pear and cheese

    Core and thinly slice the pear. Arrange on the pastry and add slices of Camembert.

  3. 03

    Add the finishing flavours

    Drizzle with honey and scatter over chopped walnuts. Add a little olive oil, mint and black pepper.

  4. 04

    Bake until golden

    Transfer the tart, still on its parchment, to a baking tray. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C / 350 °F for about 15 minutes. Check the pastry is cooked and follow the packet guidance for your pastry.

  5. 05

    Serve warm

    Finish with fresh mint. Slice so each piece has pear, cheese and a crisp edge.
