Steps
Peel the pears and dice them.
In a pan, melt the butter and add the pear cubes.
Add the brown sugar and cook over medium heat until they become soft. Once cooked, let them cool.
In a bowl, mix the ricotta with the sugar until you get a smooth and homogeneous mixture.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Unroll the puff pastry and make cuts on one of the long sides to create “fringes.” (see photo)
Spread the ricotta along the opposite side, add the pears, and sprinkle with chopped pistachios.
Using the parchment paper, roll the pastry towards the fringes.
Join the ends to form the classic ring shape. For a more scenic effect, you can twist the fringes onto themselves.
Brush with beaten egg and bake for about 30 minutes until golden brown.
