Ingredients

1 sheet of pre-rolled puff pastry

100g of feta cheese, crumbled

Vegetable oil spray

To serve:

Sun dried tomatoes

Watercress and rocket salad

Balsamic vinegar

Method

I rolled the pasty out into small rectangles not too big as I wanted to be able to fit them both in my air fryer. Then I topped with thinly sliced pears and crumbled the feta cheese over the top. I sprayed the top with fry light and popped them in the air fryer on 180c for about 10 minutes. Check them around half way through as not all air fryers cook at the same speed.

I served my air fried pear and feta puff pastry tarts on a bed of watercress and rocket salad. I then dressed the dish with sun dried tomatoes and pear crisps, with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar on top.
