  • 10 g butter
  • 2 bulb(s)
  • ½ lemon(s)
  • 175 g cheese (Maroilles), soft cheese from Northern France

  • salt and pepper

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 35 minutes

Recipe from Nord-Pas-de-Calais and Picardy

Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Roll out the puff pastry and cut out a round base approximately 22 cm in diameter. Place this on a lightly buttered baking sheet (preferably a non-stick baking sheet). Peel the pears, halve them, and remove the cores. Cut into thin slices and brush with lemon juice to prevent discoloration. Scrape the crust off the cheese and slice it as well. Arrange the pear and cheese slices overlapping each other in a rosette shape on the base. Season with salt and pepper. Bake in the hot oven for approximately 15 minutes. Sprinkle with cumin and serve.
