Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams Blue cheese
- 2 medium Pears (ripe but firm)
- 50 grams Cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 30 grams Walnuts (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 12 pieces Mini tartlet shells (ready-made)
Instructions
1. Begin by preparing the pears. Wash, peel, and core them. Dice the pears into small cubes, roughly 1 cm in size. Drizzle the cubes with lemon juice to prevent browning and set aside.
2. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the blue cheese and cream cheese. Mash them together with a fork until smooth and well blended.
3. Add the honey, fresh thyme leaves, and ground black pepper to the cheese mixture. Mix thoroughly to combine.
4. Gently fold in the diced pears and chopped walnuts, ensuring the ingredients are evenly distributed without breaking the pears too much.
5. Spoon the filling into the mini tartlet shells, dividing it evenly among all 12 shells. Make sure the filling is slightly mounded for an attractive presentation.
6. Optionally, garnish with a small sprig of fresh thyme or an additional walnut piece on top of each tartlet for decoration.
7. Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving. Best enjoyed fresh.
