CHEDDAR PEAR PIE



Cheddar Pear Pie image

I take this pie to lots of different gatherings, and I make sure to have copies of the recipe with me since people always ask for it. It's amusing to see some folks puzzling over what's in the filling - they expect apples but love the subtle sweetness of the pears. -Cynthia LaBree, Elmer, New Jersey

CREAMY PEAR PIE

There aren't many recipes using fresh pears. I heard this recipe on the radio while I was driving the tractor in the field. I kept repeating the ingredients over and over until it was time to go in the house for lunch, then I wrote the recipe down on paper. We've enjoyed it every summer since.

PEAR AND GRUYERE HAND PIES



Pear and Gruyere Hand Pies image

These days practically every supermarket offers frozen puff pastry. For the best results, look for the brands that have the fewest ingredients and use real butter. Puff pastry is all about the butter, and that's the flavor you want to come through.

Provided by Samantha Seneviratne

Time 1h40m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 1/2 cups diced pears (from about 2 Bosc pears)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 pieces puff pastry (about 1 1/2 pounds), thawed if frozen
All-purpose flour, for rolling
1 large egg, lightly beaten
4 ounces grated Gruyere cheese

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the pears and the thyme and cook until the pears are tender and any juice has evaporated, 4 to 6 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to a plate to cool completely.
  • Working with 1 sheet of puff pastry at a time, on a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to a 10-by-15-inch rectangle. Trim about 1/8 inch off of each edge. Cut the dough into 6 equal squares. Transfer the squares to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough.
  • Brush a 1-inch border of egg on each square. Divide the cheese among the 12 squares. Then divide the pear mixture among the squares. Fold the squares over into triangles and press to seal with a fork. Transfer the pies to the freezer for 15 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Brush the tops and sides of the pies with the egg. Cut a slit in each pie to allow steam to escape. Bake the pies until deep golden brown and puffed, 20 to 25 minutes, rotating halfway through. Transfer to a rack to cool slightly and serve warm.
