Categories     Cheese

Time 18m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

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:

  • For a more intense blue cheese flavor, use a stronger variety, such as Roquefort or Gorgonzola.
  • If you don't have phyllo dough, you can use puff pastry instead. Just be sure to roll it out thinly before baking.
  • To make the tartlets ahead of time, bake them according to the recipe and then let them cool completely. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • When you're ready to serve, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake the tartlets for 10-12 minutes, or until they are warmed through.

Conclusion:

Pear and blue cheese tartlets are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are filled with a creamy blue cheese filling and topped with sweet and juicy pears.
