It’s pear season. Let’s celebrate with this simple and elegant Caramelized Pear Tart. Start with a sheet of puff pastry. Place very thin slices of a Bosc pear on the pastry sheet. Sprinkle with brown sugar and bake for 18-20 minutes. To finish, dust with powered sugar and a drizzle of honey. Call it a breakfast pastry or a simple dessert.
