Time 18m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

30 frozen miniature phyllo cups
1 tablespoon butter
2 pears, peeled and chopped
2 teaspoons sugar
5 ounces saga blue cheese or 5 ounces another creamy blue cheese, trimmed of rind and cut into 30 small cubes

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350.
Place the frozen phyllo shells on a rimmed baking sheet.
Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the pears in the skillet and cook, stirring for 1 minute to soften slightly.
Sprinkle the sugar over the pears and let cook, stirring until they are completely soft, 2 minutes longer.
Remove skillet from heat.
Place 1 teaspoon of the pears and their juice in each phyllo shell.
Top with a cube of blue cheese.
Bake the tartlets until the cheese melts and the shells are crisp and golden brown 7 to 8 minutes.
(You can also sprinkle finely chopped walnuts over tartlets before baking if desired).
These tartlets can be made 1 day before and reheated in an oven at 350 degrees for 3 to 4 minutes.

Tips:

Use ripe pears for the filling as they will be sweeter and have a better texture.
If you don't have blue cheese, you can substitute another type of cheese such as goat cheese or brie.
Make sure to blind bake the tart shells before filling them so that they don't become soggy.
You can use store-bought tart shells or make your own using a simple recipe.
Be careful not to overcook the tartlets as the filling can become dry.
Serve the tartlets warm or at room temperature.

Conclusion:

Blue cheese and pear tartlets are a delicious and elegant appetizer or light meal. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
