Pear and Goat Cheese Puff Pastries

December 16, 2014 by Samantha Leave a Comment

Easy peasy Pear and Goat Cheese Puff Pastries. Perfect for entertaining, a potluck, and are made in under 20 minutes! The pine nuts add a great level of crunch.

I’m kind of obsessed with pears right now. Maybe I wasn’t looking very well before, but there are a ton of different varieties out there waiting to be sampled.

Z&I love a ripe Comice Pear, I will demolish a juicy ripe Bartlett, or bake it up in a warm vanilla pear crisp. Here I went savoury over sweet. It was a lovely little treat and very simple to throw together.

Any pear will do for this recipe. I ended up using small Red Pears that I picked up from Vancouver Winter’s Farmer Market at Nat Bailey Stadium. I love this market. Go check  it out one Saturday!
