Made this appetizer for Christmas eve. Was really excited about serving it as I love the combination of pear and blue cheese. I was actually disappointed in the flavor. Nothing special. Probably won't make again.

I made this recipe for a New Year's Eve party and was disappointed in both the recipe and of my execution of it. I made the filling ahead of time (about two hours) and let it sit in the fridge. I think this is where I went wrong. The filling was flat, running, and pretty unappealing - it took on a greyish color that was pretty funking. I would recommend using gorgonzola as others have recommended. I just might try this again but tweak based on comments.

Awesome! Wow, these were amazing! I topped mine with just a little bit of carmelized onion, and they were amazing. Easy and delicious appetizer...quick prep...impressive presentation, too.

I thought these were really good. I took some tips from other reviewers and added a drizzle of honey and a candied walnut to each of them once they were done cooking. I am SO happy I did that. They needed a little sweetness, otherwise they would be way to blue cheesy rich. If your guests are fans of blue cheese on its own, then these will be a hit. Otherwise, probably not so much.

These came out great. Followed other reviewers advice and used some cream cheese to reduce the over powering flavor of the gorgonzola. I also used canned pears that were not in syrup (just in pear juice), walnuts, and honey. Some people who normally dont like the flavor or blue cheese liked them while others thought the blue cheese flavor was too prominent.

This was wonderful. Made it before reading reviews, but also used gorgonzola and topped with a candied walnut. Also, try sprinkling pomegranates seeds for added visual interest. This just became a staple in my repertoire of appys!

I made my own phyllo mini cups (cut them into squares and baked in mini muffin pans). Instead of onions, I sprinkled with chopped bacon bits. After baking, I drizzled with honey.
