The tarts were a bit bland. I would recommend adding more seasoning.

The crust was a bit too thick for my taste. I would recommend rolling it out thinner.

The tarts were a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt.

I didn't have any pears so I used apples instead. They were still very good.

I had some leftover chicken so I used that instead of cooking new chicken. It worked out great!

I'm not a big fan of gorgonzola, so I used blue cheese instead. It was still very good.

These tarts were absolutely delicious! The combination of chicken, pear, and gorgonzola was perfect, and the crust was flaky and flavorful. I will definitely be making these again.
