I recently had a dear friend of mine over and to celebrate some new exciting things in each other's lives I made a delicious dessert. This dessert is light and has a mild savory quality to it so you don't feel overwhelmed by sweetness.

Ingredients;

1 store bought pie crust (or homemade if you prefer)

1/4 cup fruit preserve of your choice (I used a tropical guava flavor)

3oz goat cheese (room temperature)

1/4 cup Greek yogurt (I prefer 2% and at room temperature)

2tbsp honey

3 ripe pears I used d'anjou

Preheat the over to 375º. Grease a 10" tart pan and place the pie crust in the pan. With a fork prong the crust to allow air pockets. Place a piece of parchment paper over the crust and fill with pie weights. Blind bake the crust for about 25-30 minutes, the crust should have a slight golden color. Remove from oven and let cool for about ten minutes.

While the crust bakes combine the honey, goat cheese and yogurt into a bowl. Slice the pears thinly and put aside.

Once the pie crust has cooled take the fruit preserve and spread it over the bottom of the crust. Then take the cheese and yogurt mixture and spread it over the preserve. It is ok if the fruit and cheese begin to combine a bit, they will covered by the fruit. Just try to spread the cheese and yogurt mixture as evenly as possible.

Arrange the sliced pear in a ring along the outer perimeter of the tart, stacking them as close as possible. You can continue a second ring in the center or take the slices like I did and create a petal formation to create the appearance of a flower.

Bake for 30 minutes at 375º. Remove from the oven an allow to cool for ten minutes. Slice and enjoy! Refrigerate your leftovers if you have any!
