Provided by Paula

Categories     Crab

Time 32m

Yield 30 tarts

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (8 ounce) package neufchatel cheese
2 -3 tablespoons horseradish sauce
3/4 cup imitation crabmeat, minced
1 tablespoon green onion, minced
2 (2 ounce) packages frozen miniature phyllo tart shells
paprika, sprinkled on top

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350*.

  • Using a small sized scoop (Pampered Chef), place filling into tart shells.
  • Sprinkle with a small amount of paprika.
  • Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until slightly brown on top.

Tips:

  • Prep Work: Before starting, ensure all ingredients are measured and ready. Thaw frozen crab meat and shrimp if needed.
  • Temperature Control: Use cold butter and eggs for flaky crust and to prevent curdling.
  • Phyllo Dough Handling: Phyllo dough sheets are delicate, so handle them gently. Keep the sheets covered with a damp cloth or plastic wrap to prevent drying.
  • Layering Phyllo Dough: Use a pastry brush to lightly brush each sheet with melted butter before layering them. This helps create a crispy, flaky crust.
  • Blind Baking: Pre-bake the phyllo shells before filling to prevent sogginess. Use pie weights or dried beans to weigh down the shells during baking.
  • Filling Consistency: Make sure the crab and shrimp filling is not too wet, as this can make the tartlets soggy. If needed, drain any excess liquid before filling the shells.
  • Garnishing: Before serving, garnish the tartlets with fresh herbs like chives, parsley, or dill for an extra touch of flavor and color.

Conclusion:

These exquisite Crab and Shrimp Phyllo Tartlets offer a harmonious blend of flavors and textures, making them perfect for special occasions or delightful appetizers.
