Delicious and easy to make. I added the sugared walnut to each. Received compliments from everyone at dinner and will definitely make again!

The pears had a little too much moisture in them so I added less cream. I also added honey to the mixture, very tasty and everyone loved them.

I changed the recipe slightly by adding a block of cream cheese to the mix and omitting the pear from the filling. After filling the phillo shells with filling, I topped each shell with a peeled pear slice. These were a hit at my husband's 30th birthday party. I originally made them "just for us" but even the blue cheese "haters" loved this appetizer!

Little Tast of Heaven! People concerned with the balance of blue cheese vs. pear should just taste before filling shells and adapt accordingly.

Yum! I used Gorgonzola because it appeals to a wider crowd and I was entertaining. Here's what I love about this recipe: 1) It's delicious. 2) It comes across as really fancy. 3) OMG, it's easy! People will think you're a gourmet, especially if the presentation is nice. ;)

Good recipe...even better when I topped them with a little piece of a candied walnut and a drop of honey! MMM! Everyone commented on how unique they were, not the typical appetizer. Excellent with a glass of wine!

These were very delicious and were a perfect appetizer for thanksgiving. I drizzled a little honey on top after baking - which was the needed addition to make them spectacular.

Everyone enjoyed these when I made them as an hors d'oevre for the neighborhood barbecue. They're better for fall/winter but I wanted to make them in the summer, and they were excellent.
