This vegetarian treat is not only easy to prepare but also a feast for the senses, making it an ideal choice for gatherings or a cozy night in.

The star of this recipe is the luscious combination of firm-ripe pears, such as Bosc or Comice, which are beautifully arranged on a flaky puff pastry base. The addition of warm orange marmalade adds a touch of sweetness and a hint of citrus that perfectly complements the pears. As the tarts bake, the pastry transforms into a golden, crispy shell that encases the tender fruit, creating a delightful contrast in textures.

To elevate this dessert further, we serve the tarts with a dollop of crème fraîche, whisked to a slightly thickened consistency and sweetened with a touch of granulated sugar. This creamy accompaniment adds a luxurious finish to each bite, making it a truly memorable experience. Whether enjoyed warm from the oven or at room temperature, these Rustic Pear Tarts are sure to become a favorite in your dessert repertoire. Treat yourself and your loved ones to this exquisite dessert that celebrates the beauty of seasonal fruits!

Ingredients

  • tablespoons crème fraîche 
  • large eggs beaten to blend
  • 1.5 teaspoons granulated sugar 
  • 0.3 cup orange marmalade

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 37
  2. Lightly butter 2 large baking sheets. On a floured surface with a floured rolling pin, roll out pastry to 16 by 18 in.
