How to cook a French pie with pear and cheese
An unusual dessert for the whole family. The perfect combination of sweet pears and tender cheese
Step-by-step recipe
1. |
Add chopped nuts with egg, powdered sugar and almond flour. Mode cold butter in small cubes, add flour, salt and a little sugar. Chop with a knife (you can use a blender). It will turn out crumbly crumbs. Add a little ice water (1-2 tablespoons) and knead the simplest dough. |
2. |
Roll out the dough on the table, lightly sprinkled with flour. Or we do it right in the form, with our hands, but then it turns out not so smoothly and beautifully. |
3. |
After that, the resulting cake is sent to a preheated oven to 180 ° degrees for 7-10 minutes. While the base is baking, we cook pears. Carefully remove the skin from the pears. Cut in half and cut into thin semicircles so that they are quickly baked and tender. (Based on the variety of pears, you can add a little more or less honey, depending on whether they are sweet or semi-sweet). |
4. |
After the time has elapsed, we take out a half-finished pie. Mix the cheese with egg, powdered sugar and almond flour. We spread the cheese mixture into the base of the pie. We spread the pear beautifully on top, slightly melting it in the filling. Sprinkle with almond petals (you can use any nuts). And at the end you need to pour honey. (If the honey is frozen, put it in the microwave for half a minute and it will be liquid again). Carefully distribute the sweetness over the entire surface. |
5. |
We put the resulting pie in the oven for another 20-25 minutes and after the time has elapsed, we take it out. Have a nice tea party! |
