This tart is the perfect combination of sweet and tart. I love the way the pears caramelize in the oven.

I'm not usually a fan of pear tarts, but this one changed my mind. The combination of the sweet pears and the tangy cream cheese filling was perfect. I'll definitely be making this again.

This tart was easy to make and turned out beautifully. The pears were soft and caramelized, and the crust was perfectly golden brown. I served it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and it was the perfect dessert.
