- 1 roll puff pastry (rectangular)
- 1 Coscia pear
- 8.8 oz gorgonzola and mascarpone

- to taste salt

Steps
First, peel the pears, remove the core and seeds, and cut them into small cubes.
Put them in a pan with the brown sugar, stir and cook for about 5 minutes, until they become soft but still crunchy inside.
Once cooked, let them cool.
Preheat the oven to 365°F and unroll the puff pastry directly on the baking tray.
With the help of a knife, cut fringes along one of the long sides. (see photo).
Distribute the now cold caramelized pears along the opposite side. Add the gorgonzola and mascarpone, some walnut kernels, salt, and black pepper.
At this point, roll the puff pastry onto itself. For a more scenic effect, you can either roll or cross the fringes.
Join the ends to form the classic ring shape, brush the surface with beaten egg, and decorate with black sesame seeds and walnuts.
Bake and cook for about 20/25 minutes until golden.
Our puff pastry ring cake with pears and gorgonzola is ready. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
Serve with a drizzle of honey.
Enjoy your meal.
