![]() I’ve made this successfully with red pears, yellow pears and the earthy brown Bosc pears. I use butter but vegan eaters can use margarine. Plus olive oil is healthy and suitable for vegan diets. This moistens and helps hold the crust together. Using an oil mix will help lighten up the flavor that even mild olive oil can add. Adds flavor and may help counter any bitterness from the olive oil (and whole wheat if used) ![]() This is the main component of the crust and also helps thicken the topping. With the lovely concentric circles and the shiny golden glaze, people will think you’re a real pro! All they need is a simple glaze and they really shine! I know we bloggers are always saying recipes are easy, but this really, truly is! Pear Tart, alas, seems simply too generic alone. And now I really don’t know what to call this. Yes, this is the first time I’ve found that simply changing out the fruit used in a recipe–from the French Apple Tart in this case–results in an identity crisis. And though I love it dearly, I consider frangipane a VERY different recipe–see here for my Pear Frangipane Tart, pictured below. Sometimes they are very close and sometimes they also add a pastry cream or custard (egg and cream) base.īut looking up French Pear Tart usually (but not always) gives you a tart with pears set in frangipane, a ground almond custard. If you google French Apple Tart, you will find recipes that are quite similar to my pear tart–except using apples of course. While defining a tart may not seem like a difficult question, I am actually more confused now than before I started researching. ![]() What is a French Pear Tart vs Frangipane or Almond Pear Tart? How do you beat a perfect shine that requires no brushing of melted jelly! Then it melts effortlessly into a glistening lush glaze. It’s actually a simple crumb mix of flour, butter and sugar, combined (use your fingers if you want) and sprinkled atop the pears. Key to the beauty and simplicity of this dish is the “glaze” that you see on top. Isn’t it nice when grace and practicality come together seamlessly? The recipe that this lovely, tasty tart is based on came from Food 52 via a now-closed blog and was billed as a 10-minute tart! How good it that! Originally made with peaches, I admit it took me 15 minutes. Serve warm or cold.With a simple topping that melts into a beautiful glaze & a press-in crust, this French Pear Tart is a quick, easy & tasty dessert. Place tarts on a cooling rack to cool.Watch that pastry does not burn, take them out earlier if needed. Remove tray from the oven, increase heat to 400☏, lightly dust tarts with sugar and return tray to oven for a further 8 minutes.Place baking sheet on middle shelf of preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes.Arrange thinly sliced pears on top of pastry cream. Spread about 1 ounce of pastry cream on each pastry square.Whisk egg yolk lightly with a fork and brush the whole square with eggwash.Place squares of puff pastry on parchment lined pans. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 2 hours. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto surface of pastry cream to prevent a skin from forming.Add butter and beat on medium speed until butter melts and the mixture cools. Transfer to bowl of a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment.Pour mixture back into the saucepan, and cook over medium-high heat, whisking constantly, until it thickens, about 2 minutes. Whisking constantly, slowly pour about 1/2 cup of the hot-milk mixture into the egg-yolk mixture, 1/2 cup at a time, until it has been incorporated.In a medium bowl, whisk together egg yolks, cornstarch, and remaining sugar.Cook over medium heat until mixture comes to a simmer. In a medium saucepan, combine milk, half of the sugar, vanilla bean and seeds, and salt.Cool and thinly slice each pear lengthwise.Turn pears over and continue roasting, basting occasionally, until tender and caramelized, roughly 25 to 30 minutes. Roast pears for 30 minutes, brushing them occasionally with pan juices.Drizzle lemon juice evenly over pears, then sprinkle with sugar. Arrange pears in a large baking dish, cut-side up.Using a thin, sharp knife, split the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape out seeds. Cut one sheet of frozen (and defrosted) puff pastry into roughly 3x3 inch squares and set aside. ![]()
