Ingredients
  • 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed but kept cool
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 7 oz (1 1/2 c) crumbled gorgonzola or other blue cheese
  • 3 tbsps butter
  •  Salt & pepper
  • 1 firm-ripe pear (8 oz.), rinsed & cut in half crosswise, then lengthwise
  • 4 sweet (Walla-Walla, Maui, or Vidalia) or yellow onions (2 lb. total), peeled & sliced very thinly

Directions
  • Step #1 In a 12-inch frying pan over med-heat/flame, melt the butter with the olive oil.
  • Step #2 Add the sliced onion & reduce heat slightly (between medium & medium-low).
  • Step #3 Cook, until the onions soften & turn brown, stirring every once in awhile, 30 to 40 mins.
  • Step #4 Meanwhile, trim the pear quarters to remove seeds, then cut into thin slices; set aside.
  • Step #5 When onions are done, sprinkle with salt & pepper to taste & set aside to cool to about room temp.
  • Step #6 Preheat oven to 375° (convection oven not recommended).
  • Step #7 Line two 14- by 17-inch sheet pans with parchment paper & transfer one sheet of pastry dough to each.
  • Step #8 Roll out pastry lightly with a floured rolling pin to flatten any creases.
  • Step #9 Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, wedge, cut the pastry sheets into triangle, or diamond-shaped pieces about 2 inches wide (don't worry if you cut through parchment).
  • Step #10 Slightly separate pieces so that they are not touching.
  • Step #11 Lay a pear slice in the center of each wedge (trim the slice so that it doesn't cover the entire pastry).
  • Step #12 Top with a small pile of caramelized onions & about 1/2 tsp of the gorgonzola or blue cheese.
  • Step #13 Bake in oven until fully puffed & golden, about 25 to 30 mins.
  • Step #14 Serve warm.
  • Step #15 Do-ahead tips: Cook the onions up to 2 days ahead.
  • Step #16 Store onions in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
  • Step #17 Slice pears, prepare puff pastry, & bake just before serving.
  • Step #18 Party short-cut: Hosting a bigger crowd? Buy extra puff pastry & get creative with toppings.
  • Step #19 Try sliced mushrooms & fontina cheese, thyme, or thinly sliced cooked red potatoes, & sea salt.
  • Enjoy the Pear & Blue-Cheese Pastry Triangles recipe
