Pear and Gorgonzola Cheesecake Tart with Balsamic Honey Glaze

This tart is savory and filling! It has SO much flavor in one small little wedge, you will be amazed! You will also be amazed at how SIMPLE this tart is to make.

Ingredients:

1 refrigerated pie crust, room temperature
1 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese, room temperature
2 tablespoons milk
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon of chopped fresh tarragon

1 tablespoon of chopped fresh sage

2 D’Anjou pears, peeled and sliced

Glaze:

½ cup of Balsamic

2 tablespoons of honey

Directions:

Heat oven to 450°F. Prepare pie crust as directed on package for one-crust baked shell using a 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom. Trim excess pie crust even with top of pan. Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until light brown. Cool 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F.

Combine cream cheese and Gorgonzola cheese in a medium mixing bowl; beat with electric mixer on medium speed until blended. Beat in milk and egg until well mixed. Add herbs and mix until combined. Pour batter into cooled pie crust. Arrange sliced pears on top of mixture in one layer.

 Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until filling is set. Let stand 30 minutes before serving.

Combine balsamic and honey into a small saucepan and let come up to a boil. Stir until glaze coats the back of a spoon. Take off heat and let cool.

Cut tart into wedges. Drizzle balsamic honey glaze on each wedge. If the glaze gets to thick as it cools, just nuke it in the microwave for 15 seconds.

Enjoy!
