Here is a recipe for a stunning dessert for your guests based on only the ingredients you have at hand:
Brussels Sprouts and Pear Tart
Ingredients:
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 1 pear, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Unroll the puff pastry and cut into a 12-inch circle. Place on a baking sheet. In a large bowl, combine the Brussels sprouts, pear, mayonnaise, mustard, salt, pepper, and sugar. Toss to coat. Arrange the Brussels sprouts and pear mixture on the puff pastry. Sprinkle with pecans. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and the Brussels sprouts and pear are tender. Serve warm.
And, ya know, that actually doesn't sound too bad.
