How to Make Blue Cheese Pear Filling For Mini Tartlets German

  1. Mash 4 ounces of blue cheese with a fork in a bowl.
  2. Stir in 2 tablespoons finely chopped celery and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Gradually beat in 2 ounces of softened cream cheese until smooth. Gently fold in 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh chives.
  3. Cover and chill the cheese mixture in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Peel, quarter, and core 2 ripe but firm pears. Prepare these 20-30 minutes before serving to prevent browning.
  5. Cut the pears crosswise into 1/4-inch thick slices and toss gently with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.
  6. Fill 18 pre-baked mini tartlet shells with the chilled cheese mixture. Top each tartlet with a pear slice and sprinkle lightly with poppy seeds.
