Add Pastry Dough
Place pears cut side down on baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper. Cut the thawed sheet of puff pastry into 6 rectangles. Place one rectangle on each pear (Image 1), then trim excess dough with a knife (Image 2). From leftover dough, cut "leaves" and attach to the top of the pear with a dab of milk (Image 3).
