pears and vinegar and cook until pears are tender, about 2 minutes.
Transfer to bowl and cool.
Preheat oven to 425F. Place both pastry sheets on lightly floured work
surface. Cut one 9-inch round from each pastry sheet. Place 1 round on
heavy cookie sheet. Brush pastry with egg. Stir cheese and chives into
endive mixture. Arrange endive mixture atop pastry round, leaving 1/2-inch
border. Cover with remaining pastry round. Press and crimp edges to seal.
Brush tart with egg. Using small sharp knife, cut small hole in center of
tart. Freeze 10 minutes.
Bake tart until puffed and golden brown, about 25 minutes. Let tart stand 1
hour before serving.
Serves 8.
