Pre-heat your oven to
170°C.
Skin and
core the pears. Cut the pears in slices, squeeze some lemon juice over them and
season with salt and pepper.
Put
Simonzola cheese in a bowl. Add a tot of port wine and mix until you have a
paste.
Divide the
phyllo pastry in squares and brush them with clarified butter.
Make piles
of 4 squares of phyllo pastry. Place a
spoon of the Simonzola mix in the middle of the squares.
Place
pears on top of the Simonzola mix. Brush the
extremities and roll them. Finish with another
butter brush over the Simonzola rolls. Divide
the sliced almond on top. Place the rolls on a
tray and bake them until they are golden and crispy.
Enjoy with cranberry jelly.
I made only 3 layers of pastry, since it takes quite a while to bake. I used onion marmalade on top in stead of the cranberry jelly.
