- Preheat the oven to 200C. Line a baking sheet with paper.
- Roll the pastry to 3mm thick, or assemble your two sheets to form a 30cm x 25cm rectangle.
- Cut a 1cm border lightly, not right through the pastry. Cut any remaining pastry into strips and place around the edge.
- Core and slice the pears thinly. Place them all over the pastry, layering if need be. Brush with the lemon juice. Place into the oven for 15 minutes. Remove and sprinkle over the blue cheese and the nuts. Return to the oven until the pastry is crisp and browned.
- In a bowl combine the rocket, lemon juice and honey, tossing together.
- Cut the tart into pieces and top each piece with some rocket.
