"I have prepared this for most holiday get together for years. You can prepare pastry case up to a day before adding filling and pears. Bake up to 3 hours before serving. This holds up well and can be prepared in advance and served the next day."

Easy peasy - and oh so good! I did have a little trouble with the dough being a bit crumbly, but piecing the crust together worked well. And that crust! So buttery and delicious! The almond filling was also exceptional, and topped with the creamy sweetness of the pears... heaven! I can see why you make this for your gatherings! Oh, did I mention that it's a beautiful presentation??? I didn't have a 9 inch flan pan, so I used a 6 inch springform and a 4 inch springform. Instead of quartering the pears, I sliced them and arranged them fan-like. Only used 2 pears for my pans. Thanks for sharing this one - it's going into my Best Of 2021 file!
