Clean the Radicchio, wash it and mince it. Then sweat it with a oil spoon together with the shallot finely minced and the salt and pepper. Simmer it with a little bit of white wine. Let cook for 10 minutes about, then let it cool. This will be your stuffing!

Cover the mold with the bigger disks and fill with the stuffing, the taleggio cheese in small pieces, the sliced pear and the hazelnut grain.
Cover the disks with the smaller ones, making stick the edges.

Paint the surface with the egg yolk beated with a little bit of milk and put in the oven at 200° for 15 minutes, until they get a brown color.
