Ingredients

All-purpose flour, for dusting
1 sheet (1/2 a 17.3-ounce package) all-butter frozen puff pastry, thawed
3 cups fruit, nuts and/or cheese (ideal for roasting)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon or other spices
1/4 cup warmed honey, if desired
Puff Pastry Variations, recipes follow

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease with nonstick cooking spray.
Sprinkle the cutting board with flour. Roll-out the creases.
Unfold the pastry onto parchment paper. Using a fork, pierce a 1/2-inch border around the edge of the puff pastry. Prick the center of the pastry as well, about 10 times all over.
Arrange the fruit, nuts, and cheese on top of the pastry in a uniform manner, avoiding the border. Brush the fruit with the melted butter and top with the cinnamon and sugar. Bake 15 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown and beginning to puff.
If desired, brush the honey over the fruit and bake for an additional 5 minutes. Serve warm with fresh whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
