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 !
