- 4 oz. Gorgonzola Cheese
- 1 tsp. Butter
- 1 tsp. Olive Oil

- While the onions are cooking, line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Remove puff pastry from freezer and place on parchment paper to thaw.
- When onions are done cooking, unroll the puff pastry. Top with caramelized onions, pear slices and gorgonzola cheese.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until the puff pastry is golden brown. Cut into slices and serve!
Notes
If you are not a fan of blue cheese, you can substitute goat cheese or boursin.
This appetizer can be served hot or at room temperature.
If you are making ahead to freeze, assemble the puff pastry with all of the toppings. Transfer cookie sheet to a freezer until the tart is frozen (about 30 minutes). Place tart in freezer bag until ready to use. On the serving day, transfer frozen tart to a parchment lined cookie sheet. Allow to thaw for about 20-40 minutes and then proceed to bake as the recipe directs.
