Rub the lemon peel and squeeze out the juice. Cut the vanilla pod lengthways and scrape out the pulp (spoon / knife).
Peel the pears and cut into wedges (approx. 12-16 wedges / pear). Briefly turn in lemon juice. Over a medium heat, reduce the butter, sugar and white wine (for children with water and a little lemon juice) until syrupy. Stir in the vanilla pulp and gradually put the pear slices in and let it steep in the syrup for about 2 minutes on each side (turn carefully!). Now just keep warm.
Roll out the defrosted puff pastry sheets on a floured surface so that if you cut one sheet in half, you get 2 squares of the same size. Brush one square with milk and place the 2nd square (possibly offset diagonally) on top. Use a spoon or something similar to make a depression in the middle of the puff pastry. Alternately layer a slice of cheese and a few pear wedges in the middle on top of each other. Leave the corners free as possible.
Bake the puff pastry squares in a preheated oven at approx. 200 ° C until crispy and brown.
Roast the chopped almonds slowly in a pan without fat and over low heat. Swirl the pan several times so that the almonds brown evenly.
For the dip:
Put the sour cream, acacia honey and the grated lemon zest in a bowl. Pluck the mint leaves from the stems and place in the bowl as well, except for a few leaves that are needed for the garnish. Purée finely with the hand blender. If necessary, add a little lemon juice to taste.
Arrange on plates after baking. Put a good whack of the mint cream on top, sprinkle with the roasted almonds and garnish with mint leaves. Serve the dessert immediately.
My tip: you can prepare everything except for baking!
