ROQUEFORT-AND-PEAR EGGNOG
This fascinating recipe came to The Times in a 2007 article by Amanda Hesser about eggnog, specifically the Craig Claiborne version of the classic Christmas punch which Ms. Hesser said "sweeps the field." She asked Eben Freeman, the head bartender at Tailor in SoHo, to come up with his own interpretation of Claiborne's 1958 concoction. "Freeman is a man who isn't shy about using ingredients like bell peppers in his cocktails, infusing gin with hops and making drinks like 'the Waylon,' which involves blending bourbon with smoked Coca-Cola; he took to the eggnog with the enthusiasm of a dog unleashed in the park." What he landed on was this: a savory-sweet mousse in which he infused the cream with Roquefort and scented the nog with poire William, a pear eau de vie. Serve it as a cheese course with a spoon. There's no sipping this stuff.

Steps:
- One to two days before making the eggnog, combine the cheese and cream in a container and refrigerate for 36 to 48 hours.
- In a mixer fitted with a whisk, combine the egg yolks, sugar and poire William. Beat until pale yellow and emulsified. Chill for 2 hours. Line a sieve with cheesecloth, and strain the cream-and-cheese mixture.
- Whip the cream to stiff peaks, then fold into the egg-yolk mixture. Beat the egg whites until fluffy, then add the salt and continue beating to stiff peaks. Fold into the cream mixture. Chill for 1 hour. Serve in small cups with a spoon.

Steps:
- Put the pears in a pan large enough to fit them in a single layer on the base. Pour over the wine and 300ml water, sprinkle over the sugar, then add the cinnamon stick. Put a small saucepan lid on top so the pears stay submerged under the liquid, then simmer for 10 mins until tender, but not mushy. Cool in the liquid, then chill until ready to eat. Can be made the previous day.
- Make the dressings. First, mix the vinegar and oil with seasoning in a bowl. Make the Roquefort dressing by slowly warming the cheese in a pan with the crème fraîche.
- Toast the pecans in a dry pan, then set aside. Take the pears from their poaching liquid, slice them three-quarters of the way up from the base toward the stalk end, then fan out on plates. Toss the watercress in the vinegar and oil dressing, pile onto the plates, then sprinkle over the nuts. Pour the warm Roquefort dressing around the pears or serve in shot glasses or mini jugs on the plates for guests to pour themselves.

Steps:
- Fritters: Cut the cheese into 1-inch cubes and roll lightly between your hands to round off the corners. Chill at least 2 hours. Whisk the egg in a bowl, then whisk in the milk. Place the bread crumbs in a separate bowl. Dip each cube of cheese in the egg, then toss in the bread crumbs to coat. Repeat the process to create a second coating and then a third. (The recipe can be made up to this point and kept refrigerated up to 4 hours in advance.)
- Salad: Toss the pears with the remaining salad ingredients. Taste and adjust the seasonings with lemon juice, sugar, and salt. Chill until ready to serve. When ready to serve, heat the oil in a deep fryer, or 2 1/2 inches of oil in a deep pot fitted with a deep-frying thermometer, to 365 degrees F. Working in batches of 6 or 7, drop the breaded cheese cubes into the hot oil and fry until evenly browned, about 30 seconds moving them around often. Drain on paper towels. Serve as soon as possible, with pear salad on the side.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Mash together cheese, bread crumbs, walnuts, and pepper to taste with a fork. Freeze mixture just until firm, about 10 minutes.
- Scoop out center of bottom of each pear with large end of a melon-ball cutter, then continue to remove core to make a 1/4-cup cavity. Fill each cavity evenly with cheese mixture and seal bottom with a small piece of bread.
- Roll out pastry 1/16 inch thick into a 15-inch square on a lightly floured surface with a floured rolling pin. Cut dough into quarters to make 4 equal pieces.
- Stand 1 pear in center of a pastry square and brush pear all over with egg. Bring 1 corner of pastry up toward top of pear, pressing it against pear to adhere. Repeat with adjacent corner, then generously brush extending pastry fold with egg before pressing closely against side of pear. Repeat process with remaining 2 corners. Fold top points of pastry 1/4 inch down (see photo) and brush with egg. Transfer wrapped pear to a buttered large shallow (1-inch-deep) baking pan and chill while wrapping remaining pears (make sure pears are 5 inches apart in baking pan).
- Chill wrapped pears 30 minutes.
- Bake pears in middle of oven 20 minutes, or until fruit is just tender when pierced with a knife and pastry is golden and cooked through (pastry will shrink a bit). Cool pears at least 15 minutes before serving warm or at room temperature.

Steps:
- Unravel the pastry and cut out two 15cm diameter circles using a saucer or small plate as a guide. Put them on a tray and prick all over with a fork. Peel, core and halve the pears lengthways. Finely slice each half and arrange in a neat overlapping circle in the middle of the pastry, leaving a 2cm border. Roll up and crimp the edges of the pastry to tuck the pears neatly into the tart. Can be prepared up to 1 day ahead and kept in the fridge; if the pears brown a little, it won't show.
- To make the cream, whisk the cream and honey together to form soft peaks, add the cheese and continue to whisk. Scrape into a small container and chill until needed. Can be made 1 day ahead.
- Put a baking tray in the oven and heat to 200C/180C/gas 6. For the glaze, put the sugar in a pan over a medium heat until it melts and caramelises. Pour this over the pears, then put the tarts on the hot baking tray and cook for 15 mins until they're puffed up and golden. Lift the tarts onto warmed plates and serve with a spoonful of the Roquefort cream so it melts on top.
