Cooking Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C.
  2. Place the pear pieces in a roasting tray lined with greaseproof paper. Toss with the sugar, salt and honey and dot with the butter. Bake for 30 minutes or until tender and caramelised.
  3. Lay the pastry out and trim the edges to create a neat square. Measure 1 cm from the outside edge of the pastry square and make a small indent in the pastry all the way around the edge to create a border. Be sure not to cut all the way through the pastry.
  4. Place the pastry on baking paper on a baking tray and bake for 10 – 20 minutes until golden and cooked.
  5. Allow to cool slightly, then gently press down the centre section to create a flat surface for the filling.
  6. Cook the pancetta cubes in a frying pan until starting to crisp.
  7. Cover the centre section of the pastry base with the roasted pears, pieces of goat’s cheese and lastly the pancetta.
  8. Bake at 180 °C for about 5 minutes until warmed through and the pancetta is crisp.
  9. To serve, sprinkle the tart with wild rocket and drizzle with olive oil and aged balsamic vinegar.
