Method
1.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2.
For the crust, combine ground walnuts, flour, and salt in a bowl. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water and mix until a dough forms. Press into a tart pan and set aside.
3.
Toss sliced pears with lemon juice and arrange them on the prepared crust. Sprinkle crumbled Gorgonzola, thyme, and brown sugar evenly over the top.
4.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the pears are tender.
5.
Drizzle honey over the tart and garnish with chopped walnuts immediately after removing from the oven.
6.
Let the tart cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Cut into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.
