This recipe packs a lot of flavor in small bites – pureed Italian caponata for the eggplant filling, cream cheese to offset the smokiness of paprika in the tart shell, and fresh oregano on the roasted grape tomatoes. Serve with a salad of mixed greens with lemon vinaigrette. Pastry and roasted grape tomatoes adapted from Tarts, Sweet and Savory by Maxine Clark; caponata adapted from the Italian Kitchen Bible by Kate Whiteman, Jeni Wright and Angela Boggiano.

My Dad loved pears. I had made this tart for him a few years ago and had purchased the ingredients to make it for him again over the winter break of 2012. He passed away that Thanksgiving weekend. Over the holidays, I made it in his honor and invited the local branch of our family to share it. They loved it, and I know Dad would have, too. Adapted from Larousse on Pastry.
