Perfect for late summer nectarines or peaches. Flavoring the goat cheese with pesto is a quick way to add a ton of flavor.

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons pesto
3 nectarines or peaches
1 egg beaten
Directions

2. Roll out one sheet thawed puff pastry on a floured surface to about 13"×9". Place it on a parchment or silicone lined baking sheet. Score a half inch border all around the dough.
3. In a bowl, combine goat cheese, pesto, salt and pepper.

Tips
To guarantee no soggy bottoms, it's best to bake on a dark, well-seasoned cookie sheet. You can also blind bake the dough in the lined cookie sheet by covering it with parchment, then baking for 10-15 minutes, being sure to weighy it down with another cookie sheet. You will need to cool it completely before adding the cheese mixture to it.
