Pear and Rogue Creamery Oregonzola Tart with Sweet and Spicy Oregon Hazelnuts in a Phyllo Crust

From THE OLD PARKDALE INN

Directions

 4 Pears ~ I used two Bosc and two Red D’anjou
2 Tbs butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 pound of Rogue Creamery Oregonzola or any good Blue Cheese
1/2 cup Sweet and Spicy Hazelnuts
Phyllo Crust

 

Prepare Hazelnuts: I purchased nuts that were already roasted but you could certainly roast your own.  Chop or slice .  Almonds would be another fine choice.


Prepare Crust: In an 8″ tart pan with a removable side, arrange phyllo crust so that you end up with about 8 layers.  Bake this for 5 minutes in a 375 degree over.  Set aside


Prepare Pears: Peel, core, slice into quarter inch pieces, then cut these into thirds.  Melt butter in skillet and when hot add the pears, hazelnuts and brown sugar.  Saute just until the sugar is dissolved and the pears are nice and hot.


Prepare Cheese: Finely chop


Assemble Tart:  Just minutes before you are ready to serve assemble the tart, starting and ending with Cheese, layering the cheese and pears mixture.  Bake for about 10 minutes in a 375 degree oven.  Remove from tart pan, arrange on a lovely plate or chopping block, slice into inch slivers, and serve hot as an appetizer or as your after dinner cheese option.
