Preparation

Medium

To make the dough, beat the butter with the sugar until fluffy, then add part of the beaten egg and the flour, mixing to form a smooth dough, and shape into a ball that is refrigerated for 30 minutes. Since the size of the eggs varies, add them gradually, and you may not use all of it. Grease and flour a 26 cm diameter tart pan. Melt the chocolate with the 2 tablespoons of butter in a double boiler and let cool slightly. Peel the pears and cut them in half, remove the core, and make parallel cuts on top. Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
