Method
1.
To make the crust, combine walnuts, flour, and salt in a food processor and pulse until walnuts are finely ground.
2.
Add the cubed butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water and pulse until the dough comes together.
3.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
4.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
5.
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface and press into a 9-inch tart pan; trim excess dough.
6.
In a bowl, toss the sliced pears with sugar and cinnamon, and arrange them over the crust.
7.
Sprinkle crumbled blue cheese evenly over the pears.
8.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, until the crust is golden and pears are tender.
9.
Garnish with fresh thyme leaves before serving.
