This comes from Anne Byrn's new cookbook "The Dinner Doctor". Quick and Easy and very impressive appetizer. I used Bosc pears and Clemson Blue blue cheese. These were wonderful.

I made these tartlets for a party and they were a huge hit! The combination of the sweet pears and the salty blue cheese was perfect, and the pastry was flaky and delicious. I will definitely be making these again.
