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:

To ensure the tartlets have a crispy crust, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) before baking.
To prevent the pears from browning, toss them in lemon juice or a mixture of lemon juice and water before adding them to the tartlets.
For a sweeter tartlet, use ripe pears. If using less ripe pears, you may need to add a little bit of sugar to the filling.
If you don't have blue cheese on hand, you can substitute another type of cheese, such as brie, goat cheese, or cheddar.
To make the tartlets ahead of time, bake them according to the recipe and then let them cool completely. Store the tartlets in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When ready to serve, reheat the tartlets in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until warmed through.
