PEAR AND BLUE CHEESE PASTRIES

The ingredients you will need for this dish ...300ml of cream , 180 gm of blue cheese, 1 pear , peeled , cored and cut into small cubes . Preheat your oven to 180 deg C . We need to start with the pastry cases . I use ready made shortcrust pastry sheets . Grease a large holed muffin pan ( 10 holes )and cut out 10 large circles from the shortcrust pastry sheets and press into the muffin holes . Blind bake for 7 minutes or until light brown . Remove the muffin tray from the oven and set aside . For the filling , beat 3 eggs together , mix in 180 gm of blue cheese ( finely diced ) , season with a little cracked black pepper . Now divide the small pear cubes between the dough lined muffin holes , finally divide the cheese filling between the muffin holes over the chopped pear . Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes , or until the filling has set and golden . Serve the pastries hot or cold sprinkled with finely chopped spring onions ( green part ) .
