Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. (5 minutes)

02

Step
40 mins

Melt the butter and olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and cook, stirring frequently, until they are deeply caramelized and golden brown. This will take 30 to 40 minutes, and patience is key. Ensure the onions don't burn by stirring regularly and adjusting the heat as needed. Once caramelized, set aside to cool slightly. (45 minutes)

03

Step
10 mins

Gently unfold the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut each sheet into 9 equal squares. Then, cut each square diagonally to form 36 triangles. Place the pastry triangles onto the prepared baking sheets. (10 minutes)

04

Step
10 mins

Top each triangle with a generous spoonful of the caramelized onions, followed by slices of pear, and a sprinkle of crumbled blue cheese. Aim for a balance of flavors in each triangle. (15 minutes)

05

Step
15 mins

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed, golden brown, and the cheese is melted and slightly bubbly. Rotate the baking sheets halfway through to ensure even baking. (30 minutes)

06

Step
25 mins

Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a serving platter. Serve warm or at room temperature. (10 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a drizzle of balsamic glaze after baking.
If you're short on time, you can use store-bought caramelized onions, but the homemade version is far superior.
Experiment with different types of pears and blue cheeses to find your perfect combination. A ripe Bartlett pear and a creamy Gorgonzola would also work wonderfully.
These triangles can be assembled ahead of time and baked just before serving, making them a perfect appetizer for entertaining.
