Puff pastry: little pear bites

I love warm puff pastry combined with some fruit. It doesn't request a lot of ingredients and its ready before you know it. 

The taste of soft, warm fruit with the buttery pastry, just melts away in your mouth. It a great little idea if you have some unexpected guests coming over or if you are just longing for some sweets on a Sunday afternoon, like me yesterday, when all the shops and bakeries were closed.

I have used pear but it could have been apple, mango, apricot...  or even a spoon of fruit jam, if you have a sweeter tooth, as I did not add any additional sugar here.

Puff pastry: little pear bites

Makes around 22 little bites (depending on the size of the circles)

Ingredients :

1 roll puff pastry, ready-made 

1 pear, peeled and diced

1 egg yolk

1. preheat the oven to 180 degrees

2. roll out the puff pastry and cut little circles (ex. with a water glass) 

3. peel and dice the pear and place a few pieces on one half of each puff pastry circle

4. fold the circles double and with the back of a fork close the edges

5. beat the egg yolk and brush a little on top of each puff pastry bite

6. place the bites on a tray with baking paper and slide them in the oven for 20 min, or until golden brown.

Once done let them cool down a bit but serve them warm.

Enjoy!
