Wednesday: Pears on Puff Pastry

Ok, stupid name, but this is a dish from Le Menu and the direct translation from German "Pear Blinds", sounds even worse to me. The dish is super simple: on top of a piece of puff pastry (Blätterteig) you layer a piece of ham, a slice of raclette cheese, and a sliced pear half. You season the thing, brush the pear half with melted butter, then bake until it's brown and bubbly.

The dish is both very pretty:
and very good. This will certainly be made again.

We also had a big green salad.
