INGREDIENTS

METHOD

Preheat oven to 180°C.
Slice the cheese into six 60-80g wedges. Wrap the cheese wedges individually in puff pastry.
Brush the top of the pastry with an egg wash to create a shiny finish. Make sure the edges are tightly sealed.
Place wrapped wedges on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes.
To make the pear purée, add water, sugar and pears to a pot and simmer over medium heat until tender.
Drain liquid and purée in a blender adding water as needed for desired consistency.
To plate your dish, spread a generous amount of pear purée on the plate and place the pastry directly over the top.
Lean peppered bacon on the pastry for a delicious sweet & savoury contrast.
