This tart is to die for! The flavors are so rich and complex and the crust is so buttery and flaky. I can't wait to make this again.

This tart was a bit too dry for my taste, but I think that's just because I overbaked it. Next time I'll bake it for a shorter amount of time.

This tart was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just because I used a sweeter blue cheese. Next time I'll use a sharper cheese.

This tart was a bit too salty for my taste, but I think that's just because I used a strong blue cheese. Next time I'll use a milder cheese.

The tart was easy to make, but the flavors were a bit bland. I think I'll add some more blue cheese next time.
