Scale

- 2 d’Anjou pears, halved and cored

- 2 tablespoons white sugar

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Fit puff pastry into a 10-inch square tart pan with removable sides.
- Place a pear half, cut-side down, onto a work surface. Use chopsticks to frame the pear and thinly slice lengthwise, leaving the bottom intact. Repeat with the remaining pear halves.
