Goat Cheese, Pear and Blackberry Tart
- 1 sheet prepared puff pastry
- 4 ounces mild, creamy goat cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons lavender honey
- 2 ripe, firm pears, cored and thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 6 ounces fresh blackberries
- 4 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry to a rectangle about 8 by 12-inches.
- Fold the edges of the long sides over about 1 1/2-inches to make an edge on the tart.
- Score the edges lightly with a small knife, being careful not to cut all the way through the dough.
- Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, mash the goat cheese with the honey.
- Spread the cheese evenly across the pastry inside the scored border.
- Arrange the pears and blackberries decoratively across the top of the cheese.
- Sprinkle evenly with the sugar and bake until the pastry is golden and the fruit is soft, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Remove the tart from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool before serving.
- In a bowl, whip together the cream and sour cream.
- Add the sugar and whip until soft peaks just start to form.
- To serve, cut the tart and serve the cream on the side.
