BLUE CHEESE & PEAR FILLING FOR MINI-TARTLETS (GERMAN)



Blue Cheese & Pear Filling for Mini-Tartlets (German) image

I love this recipe from the *Food With Friends* section of *Modern German Food* by Roz Denny. Why do I love this recipe? - Because I like all easy, make-ahead, impressive & versatile food fare that convinces your guests you have taken spec care to enhance their dining pleasure. This recipe is versatile because it works as a finger-food appy, garnish for or part of a luncheon salad plate & creative addition to the popular fruit & cheese combo for dessert theme. I will opt for the latter as they are very popular here in Iceland. *Enjoy* !

MINI BLUE CHEESE TARTLETS



Mini Blue Cheese Tartlets image

These are so simple and easy. You do most of the preparation ahead of time. The surprise is the healthy broccoli in the recipe. It works. Use scissors to finely snip the broccoli - It makes it so easy. I suggest using full cream sour cream but if you want it lower fat sub 2% cottage cheese for the sour cream - Be sure that you enjoy Blue cheese - especially warm blue cheese before making this recipe or you won't enjoy it!. The filling does rise a bit so do not over fill the shells. - Bon appetite.

BABY TARTS OF BLUE CHEESE (GERMAN AND VEGETARIAN)



Baby Tarts of Blue Cheese (German and Vegetarian) image

This recipe from *Modern German Food* by Roz Denny sounds so good to me. Roz said "These tarts make a light simple lunch w/a mixed green salad or an unusual starter. Using a blue-veined soft cheese such a blue brie works best. This is ideal for vegetarians." The pic was stunning & I favor this as a starter course as I'm not sure I could limit myself to 1 tart when served as an entree. (Time does not include the 20 min chill time). *Enjoy* !
