BLUE CHEESE & PEAR FILLING FOR MINI-TARTLETS (GERMAN)

Steps:

• Mash cheese w/a fork in a bowl. Mix in the celery + black pepper, gradually beat in the cream cheese & fold in the chives. Chill in the fridge till required.
• Peel, quarter & core pears 20-30 min b4 serving. Cut crossways into slices & mix w/the lemon juice to stop them turning brown (I usually use my pastry brush for this).
• Fill 18 pre-baked mini-tartlet shells w/the cheese mixture, stand a pear piece on top & sprinkle lightly w/poppy seeds (if using).

BEST BLUE CHEESE BREAD......MMMMMMMMMMM!!

Steps:

• Melt butter or margarine in pan; add blue cheese.
• Stir until blue cheese is melted and smooth.
• Take each dinner roll, and cut it into 6 pieces.
• Oil an 8x8-inch (or similar size) pan or glass baking dish (glass baking dish is preferred).
• Pour butter/blue cheese mixture into the baking dish.
• Place the cut up pieces of dough into the baking dish, on top of the blue cheese/butter mixture, crowding the pieces so that they touch.
• Bake according to packaged roll directions, usually 13-17 minutes, on about 350°-375°, or until golden brown on underside of pan (that is why it is good to use a glass dish, so you can lift it up to see if the underside is baked enough).
• When done, invert baking dish and the easy blue cheesy bread should drop out easily--so that what was the "bottom" in the baking dish becomes the "top"--serve immediately.
• While it is still hot, sprinkle with parmesan cheese and serve (optional).
• This is basically "pull apart finger food" and is absolutely delicious!
