Like so many good things, this tarte was born from a what-can-I-make-without-having-to-go-to-the-store moment. I needed something kind of fancy for a holiday party, and this was whipped up in about an hour with pretty simple pantry ingredients (fortunately, I had a little heavy cream left from Thanksgiving). The recipe is adapted from one I found on <strong><a href="http://www.easy-french-food.com/pear-dessert-recipe.html">Easy French Food</a></strong> , but features ganache instead of melted chocolate, poached pears instead of canned, less of the custard, and a version of my beloved rosemary crust. Though the recipe contains a lot of steps and components, each component is pretty simple on it's own. I thought the finished product was super chic and quite délicieuse.
