Pear & Stilton Tart

More of a construction job than anything else, this super easy tart makes a wonderful lunch when served with a salad, or you could do mini versions as canapés. From getting all the ingredients together to serving, you should be able to get it done within 40 minutes.

Unwrap your puff pastry and cut in half. Keep half for the tart, and the other half can be rewrapped in the packaging and frozen for another time. With your remaining puff pastry, transfer on to a sheet of baking parchment, then using a sharp knife, score a rectangle, leaving a 1 inch border of pastry all the way round. Mark this one inch frame with a decorative criss cross pattern. Within the rectangle, spoon out the pear, ginger & fig chutney so that it totally covers it. Transfer the pastry on to a baking sheet, then core and thinly slice the pear. Layer the slices on top of the chutney, then sprinkle with the crumbled stilton. Brush the beaten egg on the pastry frame, then put the tart to bake in the centre of the oven. While the tart is baking, you can glaze your walnuts. Simply heat the sugar in a heavy pan, then add the vinegar and walnuts, stirring to coat. When the liquid has evaporated, scrape the nuts into a bowl and set aside. After 30 minutes, the puff pastry should have risen and gone a golden brown. Remove from the oven, then leave to stand for 5 minutes. Transfer on to a platter to serve. Sprinkle with the walnuts and chopped herbs. Enjoy warm, with a crisp salad.
