Fall is apple and pear picking season.
There's no better time to enjoy the fruits of the harvest than with this deliciously sweet and savory Pear Tart with Goat Cheese, Rosemary & Honey.
The pears are juicy and soft and pair deliciously with the warm honey flavored goat cheese.
I drizzled sweet summer honey over the tart and finished with a sprinkle of cracked pepper and fresh rosemary.
The honey I purchased locally from a farm market and it adds a unique sweetness that can't be compared to the store-bought stuff.
Absolutely delicious!
I got the idea for this puff pastry patisserie earlier this summer when I created my Peach Tarts with Goat Cheese & Honey.
They were a hit here at home among my neighbors, so I thought these tarts should be made with pears.
Keep things simple for this dessert by using store bought frozen puff pastry. I always have a box on hand for pulling together easy dessert like this one.
I don't like spending all day in the kitchen and I think store bought tastes just as delicious as homemade.
Success!
Now wouldn't apples tarts with a cinnamon crumble taste delicious. Hmmmm!
