Instructions
Beat egg and remove about half to a separate small bowl (to use later for egg wash).
Pour remaining egg, mascarpone, sugar and vanilla into mixing bowl and beat with electric mixer until well-blended.
Cut the puff pastry sheet into 6 sections (each will be around 3 x 5 inches). Roll each section of pastry sheet on wax paper to approximately 4 x 5 inches.
Make a shallow cut (score) about a half inch from the edges of the tart. Prick the inside with a fork or knife (see picture above).
Spread the inside section with a heaping spoon of the cheese mixture. Top with two thin slices of pear (or other fruit).
Mix the reserved egg with a teaspoon of milk or water to make an egg wash. Brush the tart edges with egg wash and sprinkle decorating sugar.
Using a thin spatula, transfer to a lightly sprayed or parchment covered baking sheet. Bake at 400 F for approximately 10-15 minutes, until golden.
