Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 1.00 | squeeze lemon juice | |
| ½ | cup | diced pears |
| ¼ | cup | toasted walnuts; chopped - plus |
| 1.00 | tablespoon | chopped toasted walnuts; for garnish |
| ¼ | cup | maytag blue cheese; plus |
| 1.00 | tablespoon | maytag blue cheese; for garnish |
| 1 | salt; to taste | |
| 1 | freshly-ground white pepper; to taste | |
| 4.00 | phyllo dough sheets | |
| ¼ | cup | butter; melted |
| ½ | cup | pear puree; for sauce |
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. As you cut them, squeeze a little lemon juice over pears to prevent browning. Combine pears, walnuts and blue cheese; season to taste with salt and pepper. Lay out phyllo sheet and fold in thirds like a letter, lengthwise; brush surface with melted butter. Mound ¼ of cheese filling at base of folded phyllo sheet and roll up like an eggroll, pinching ends closed to prevent filling from leaking. Brush top with butter and transfer to a baking sheet. Repeat with remaining phyllo and filling. Bake 12 minutes, until golden and lightly crisped. Serve sprinkled with extra walnuts and blue cheese, with a spoonful of pear puree. This recipe yields 4 servings.
