Honey Goat Cheese Pear Galette with Cinnamon and Fresh Thyme

Ingredients:

• 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed

• 6 oz goat cheese

• 2 1/2 t honey

• 2 Bosc pears, cores removed and thinly sliced

• 1/4 c brown sugar

• 6-8 sprigs fresh thyme

• 1 egg

• 1 t heavy cream (milk will work as well)

• 2 T turbinado sugar*

• Cinnamon to taste

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a small mixing bowl, mix together goat cheese and honey using a large fork. Mix until fully combined and smooth, 3-4 minutes.

3. Place one of the sheets of puff pastry on the prepared baking sheet. Using a rolling pin, gently roll out the pastry until it’s about 1/4” thick. Then, using a fork, poke a few holes throughout the pastry. Repeat for the other sheet.

4. Using a spatula, gently spread the 1/2 of the honey goat cheese on the center of each pastry, leaving about 1 1/2 “ along the edge.

5. Arrange sliced pears however you’d like, in a circle or square, on each pastry.

6. Sprinkle brown sugar and thyme on top, then fold the edges of the pastry over the pears, overlapping itself to create a good seal.

7. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and heavy cream. Using a pastry brush, brush the edges of the pastry with the egg mixture. Sprinkle turbinado sugar on top and bake for 12-15 minutes, until edges are slightly golden brown and crispy.

8. Sprinkle cinnamon on top and serve immediately! You can also serve with vanilla ice cream on top, or just by itself.

Enjoy!!
