Notes
1. To cut the puff pastry, press down with a large knife and bring it straight back up. Do not drag the knife through the pastry, it will make the puff pastry layers "stick" together so it won't puff up as much.
2.Use a small knife to score the border. Try to score it as deep as you can - for maximum puff - without cutting through. Don't worry if you cut through though, it should self bond when baking (I often accidentally cut all the way through!).
3. Try not to get egg wash on the outer cut edge of each piece of pastry as it acts as a binding agent so the pastry will not puff up as much.
4. This is best served immediately. If making ahead, keep the tart separate from the syrup, blue cheese and walnuts. Reheat the tart in the oven, then assemble per the recipe directions.
5.The nutrition is better than I thought! Because a little bit of blue cheese goes a long way. 🙂
