Wine Tip
Pinot Gris, selected harvest, 2009
The matured aroma of this wine sets off this fruity recipe. The soft residual sweetness is the perfect counterpart to the distinctive blue cheese flavor.
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F. Cut 6 rings out of the puff pastry and place onto a lined baking tray. Gently prick the surface of the pastry with a fork.
