Blue Cheese Pear Filling For Mini Tartlets German
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* !!
