How to Make Chocolate Pear Jalousie

Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Lightly grease and line a baking tray.
In a medium bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy using an electric mixer.
Beat in the egg yolks one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Gently fold in the hazelnut meal, melted chocolate, and chopped hazelnuts.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one sheet of puff pastry to a 22cm x 24cm rectangle.
Using a sharp knife, cut 6 even slits across the second sheet of pastry, leaving a 2cm border around the edges.
Place the first pastry sheet onto the prepared baking tray. Spread the chocolate mixture evenly over the pastry, leaving a 2cm border. Arrange the pear slices neatly over the chocolate mixture.
Brush the exposed pastry edges with the beaten egg white.
Carefully place the second pastry sheet over the filling, pressing the edges firmly to seal.
Brush the top pastry with the remaining egg white and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the jalousie is golden brown and the pastry is cooked through.
Let cool slightly before serving warm, sliced, with whipped cream (optional).
