Preparation

Step 1

Roll puff pastry out into 10x13 rectangle, cutting edges if needed. Fold up 1/4 in. edge of the pastry to form a border. Transfer to parchment covered cookie sheet. Chill while preparing filling.

Cut each pear halve into 6 wedges. Toss with sugar and juice. Brush pastry with egg mixture including border.

Arrange pears flat onto pastry. Dot with butter chunks. Bake at 375 degrees for 45-50 minutes until pears are tender and pastry is golden.
