Method

Remove puff pastry from freezer 30 minutes before using. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Cut pear into thin slices. In small bowl, combine pear, 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 1 tablespoon honey. Reserve another 1 tablespoon honey in a small heatproof bowl.

Use a mixer to beat the cream cheese until smooth. Scrape down the sides and add the honey, flour and lemon zest. Mix until smooth. Add the eggs, scrape down the sides again and mix until very smooth.

Cut half of the pastry sheets into 9 squares. Spray a muffin tin with baking spray. Carefully fit 1 square into each muffin cup. Fill each cup with 2 tablespoons cheese mixture. Cut pear slices to fit muffin tin. Fan 3 or 4 slices of pear over each cup and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon hazelnuts. Freeze 10 to 15 minutes to firm pastry.

Bake cold tarts until pastry is lightly browned and cheese is puffed, about 20 minutes. Cut 9 more pastry squares and repeat filling and baking. Microwave reserved honey 5 seconds on High and drizzle tarts with honey.

Let tarts sit 10 to 15 minutes before serving or refrigerate and reheat in a 350 degree F oven for 10 minutes.
