    I have made this several times. It is beautiful, impressive and delicious. (And not overly sweet. It looks as if it came from a fine French Bakery. Don't change a thing in Tyler's recipe.

    This was a really good recipe with classic flavor combinations. Blue cheese & pears are a classic match. My husband and I really liked it, but we both love blue cheese. Next time I'll use less cheese and try gorgonzola instead, which is milder. Wegman's grocery has been carrying gorgonzola dolce, so I might try some of that. The crust was wonderful.

    I'm not sure why blue cheese would be included in a pear recipe, but I like to try different things, so I made this recipe.

    The pastry shell with the hint of lemon was great. The pears were great except for the rather strong taste of blue cheese.

    If I make this recipe again, I'll either reduce the blue cheese by half, or eliminate it all together. I really think this would have been much better without it, to be honest.

    I have made this a dozen times, with no major changes, for my Italian/German uncle, it's his favorite.

    I made this twice, the first time with blue cheese and pears and my family loved it, the second time I did it without cheese all-together and used apples. My husband had asked for it this way, and it was really good too. The crust is excellent-- very easy and really tastes great!

    I don't know if it was the pears or the recipe, but I was embarrassed after I had served this to my family and then tried a piece myself. There was no flavor at all. If I try it again, I will either use a sweeter fruit or add some sugar.
