Puff pastry works wonderfully for easy appetizer recipes. There is no need to make homemade puff pastry. Buy it frozen, thaw it out and use it for quick and easy recipes. So easy. We love it to use as a base for these pear and blue cheese pastry triangles.
How to make pear and blue cheese puff pastry triangles:
Press pieces of pear into squares of thawed puff pastry. Top with caramelized onions and blue cheese. Bake until puffed and golden- about 25 to 30 minutes.
How to make caramelized onions:
The onions take some time to cook, but you’ll find that they’re totally worth it. Once you’ve cooked up the onions, all is very easy to assemble, and they turn out to be a very elegant appetizer! In a large frying pan over medium heat, melt the butter with the olive oil. Add the sliced onion and reduce heat slightly (between medium and medium-low). Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions soften and turn brown, 30 to 40 minutes. Meanwhile, trim the pear quarters to remove seeds, then cut into thin slices; set aside. When onions are nicely browned, sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste and set them aside to cool to room temperature.
This is a lovely appetizer for a party. Enjoy!
