This was absolutely delicious and went fast at my party. I cut it into triangles and then folded the points over. I also only needed one pear. Thanks!

Thanks so much to everyone for your great reviews. I've tried folded over pastry and pastry cups but I still prefer them open face. I recently treated myself to a very expensive bottle of balsamic and its great in the recipe!! Cali Pizza Kitchen recently came out with a similar pizza and we have been making it at home and its great!! Thanks again everyone!

I chose to make this appetizer because I LOVE blue cheese, I LOVE pears and I most especially LOVE carmelized onions. I made this exactly as written except using premade phyllo cups. I'm glad I did as it was a time saver. The filling was enough to fill 45 cups with some pear left over. They smelled so good when I took them out of the oven. Unfortunately, the teaspoon of blue cheese per pastry was a bit heavy handed. I liked them okay, but they were not the hit of my party as I had hoped they would be. :(

This was okay. I cut my pastry into circles and put them into mini muffin tins. the taste was a little weird for me but then again im not a HUGE fan of blue cheese. very crowd specific and would only make for super blue cheese fans.

These turned out yummy, even though it was my first time with puff pastry. I ended up with twice as much filling as pastry. Perhaps could've used more if I had kept to the 9 squares per sheet and made stuffed triangles from them. Overall great... I'm sure they will look prettier next time ;)

These were great! Because I am lazy, I used frozen Fillo *cups* instead of fussing w/the puff pastry triangles. So easy and so good. I filled each cup w/a little caramelized onion, finely diced pear, and blue cheese, then baked at 350 for 3-5 minutes. A great amuse bouche I will serve regularly...quick, economical, and quite tasty! THANKS!

This was a delicious blend of flavors. The blue cheese that I used overpowered the delicate flavor of the pear so I would recommend cutting down the amount of blue cheese on each triangle. These were devoured at my Christmas dinner, definitely a keeper!

I loved the onion, blue cheese & pear flavor but there was not enough "room" in the puff pastry triangle to get more than a tidbit of taste. I'll take another reviewer's hint and use puff pastry cups next time. Or maybe a light pizza crust...

These were a little too onion-y for my tastes. But everyone else thought they were fantastic and couldn't get enough. I'll definitely make these again!

I really liked these, but the whole process was a little strange. The flavor was good, and the guests ate them up, but the next time I make them I will use the puff pastry cups. I tried it both as written in the directions and as one reviewer mentioned stuffing the triangles. both ways didn't get enough filling for me and I ended up with huge bites of puff pastry with only the middle bite with filling. I would highly recommend this recipe, and I will make it again, just using the cups instead.

ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! The pear has such a subtle flavor that the combination with onions and blue cheese make the perfect compliment. These little pastries will not last long and they reheat very well.

My mom and I made these for a family get-together and everyone liked them. If you like pears and blue cheese you will like these. It's a good combination of flavors-strong blue cheese with subtle pear.

I was nervous to experiment with a new dish for our party... especially because there had only been 2 reviews... but it was SO good!! Everyone loved them! The pear had such a delicate flavor you could hardly tell it was there, I used d'anjou pears, I don't know if another kind would taste different. Don't skimp on the cheese... I cooked up 4 sweet onions (3 inches in diameter), and had about a cup left over. Three onions would have done just fine.

This recipe came out amazing! I did like the previous review and put the items inside the triangles. It was a hit with the group I made it for and I would definitely make it again! I might next time add a little balsamic vinegar for a bit more flavor, though.
