Wow your guests with Nutella stuffed baked pears in puff pastry! This easy fall dessert is ready in less than 30 minutes and requires only 5 ingredients.
Rinse the pears under running water. Pat them dry with clean kitchen towel. Cut each one in half lengthwise. Remove any hard parts and scoop out the seeds by creating a dent where the Nutella filling will go.
Place each pear half onto rolled out puff pastry, cut side down. Leave enough space in between each one of them. Cut out the pastry around each pear making sure the cut out pastry is at least 0.5 inch (1.3 cm) wider than the pears.
Use the leftover pastry to cut out leaves. 2 leaves per pear. Use a cookie cutter or a knife to cut them out. With the knife, make some indentation in each leaf, so it looks like veins.
Take each pear and fill the dent with Nutella. Place it back onto the puff pastry (cut side down) and press down slightly. Brush the exposed puff pastry areas with beaten egg.
Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F/200°C for 10 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Serve them with chocolate sauce or on their own.
