Ingredients

1 sheet ready-rolled puff pastry 320g
100 g blue cheese Stilton or similar, crumbled
1 pear ripe , peeled and thinly sliced
2 tbsp runny honey
1 egg beaten (for glazing)
Black pepper Freshly ground

Instructions

Preheat oven to 200°C (fan 180°C). Line a tray with parchment.
Unroll puff pastry. Arrange pear slices evenly across the surface. Scatter with crumbled blue cheese and drizzle lightly with honey.
Roll tightly from the long edge into a log. Slice into 16 spirals about 1.5cm thick. Arrange on tray, brush with beaten egg, and season with black pepper.
Bake for 15–18 minutes until golden brown. Cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Choose a ripe pear that holds its shape when baked — Conference or Comice work well. Overripe pears collapse into mush and soak the pastry.

Blue cheese varies in strength. Stilton is bold, while Danish Blue is milder. Adjust quantities depending on how strong you like it.
