Recipe

Preparation Time: 35 mins Cook Time: 55 mins Ready Time: 2 hrs


• preheat oven to 375 degrees f (190 degrees c). line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• melt the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. stir the onions into the butter, and cook until the onions have softened and caramelized to a deep, golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes. stir frequently as the onions cook to keep them from burning. once done, season with salt and pepper, and set aside to cool.
• use a sharp knife to cut each sheet of puff pastry into 9 squares. cut each square in half diagonally to yield 36 triangles. place the triangles the prepared baking sheets, and top with the caramelized onions, pears, and 1 teaspoon of blue cheese.
• bake in the preheated oven until the pastry is puffed and golden brown, 20 to 30 minutes. allow to cool to room temperature before serving.
