Ingredients

4
slices bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2
medium onions, chopped
Pepper
1
sheet frozen puff pastry (from 17.25-oz package.), thawed
1
pear, thinly sliced
2 oz.
blue cheese

Directions

1. Step 1Heat oven to 400°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Step 2Cook bacon in large skillet on medium-high, stirring often, until crisp, 6 to 8 minutes; transfer to paper towel-lined plate. Spoon off and discard all but 2 tablespoons bacon drippings from skillet.
3. Step 3Add onions to skillet and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, 12 minutes. Uncover and cook, stirring often, until very tender and golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes more (add a splash of water to skillet if necessary to help release drippings). Stir in ¼ teaspoon pepper.
4. Step 4Unfold pastry onto prepared baking sheet and spread onion mixture on top, leaving ½-inch border all around.
5. Step 5Top with pear slices and bacon, then crumble blue cheese on top. Bake until golden and crisp along edges, 20 to 25 minutes.
