4 to 6 Bartlett pears, peeled and quartered
1 sheet frozen puff pastry

Arrange pear pieces in pan in a fanned circle shape, making sure to fill in all the space.
Cut puff pastry into a circle 1½ times the size of the pan.
Cover pan with pastry, tucking in around the edges.
Bake for 20 min or until pastry is golden brown.
Let cool, and while still warm, loosen edges, cover with a serving plate and flip.
