If you want to serve this dish for a party, you could use each chicory leaf to hold the pear and cheese Drizzle a little mayonnaise into each leaf, put a slice of pear cu top, followed by a slice of cheese, and let everyone help themselves.

2

Peel, quarter and core the pears, then slice them thin lengthways.

3

Cut the base off each head of chicory, so that the leaves come away Mix the mayonnaise with the mustard and add 2 to 3 tablespoons of hot water to loosen it up enough to be able to drizzle over the salad.

4

Put the chicory leaves in a bowl, season and toss with the vinaigrette.

5

Put a layer of chicory on each serving plate, followed by a layer of pear, then more chicory Drizzle with the mayonnaise and, using a potato peeler, shave the Ovinfort over the top.

Once you've made puff pastry dough, you can throw together these straws in just a few minutes. If you have puff pastry trimmings, this is a perfect use for them. If you're working in a hot kitchen, make the cheese straws before you preheat the oven and keep them in the freezer until you are ready to bake them.
