Instructions
Prepare the Crust
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out puff pastry into a 12-inch circle on a floured surface and transfer to the baking sheet.
- In a bowl, mix ricotta, 2 tablespoons honey, and vanilla. Spread evenly over pastry, leaving a 2-inch border.
- Toss strawberries with cornstarch and sugar. Arrange over ricotta. Fold pastry edges over filling, pleating as you go. Brush edges with egg wash.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden. Cool slightly.
- For balsamic pearls: Heat balsamic vinegar and agar-agar in a small saucepan, stirring until dissolved. Simmer 1 minute. Let cool slightly. Using a dropper, drip mixture into chilled oil to form pearls. Strain pearls and rinse with water.
