CHEESY CRAB TARTS
I love to entertain and always looking for yummy appetizers. These wonderful little tarts are compliments of Paula Deen. I prepared them ahead of time and warmed them in the oven before my guests arrived. Besides their scrumptious taste and slight kick they make a beautiful presentation. I also substituted the lump crab with imitation crab.

Tips:
- Use fresh crab meat. Fresh crab meat has a sweeter, more delicate flavor than canned or frozen crab meat. If you can't find fresh crab meat, you can use canned or frozen crab meat that has been thawed and drained.
- Don't overcook the crab meat. Crab meat cooks quickly, so it's important not to overcook it. Overcooked crab meat will be tough and rubbery.
- Use a good quality puff pastry. The puff pastry is the base of the tartlets, so it's important to use a good quality puff pastry that will puff up nicely in the oven.
- Chill the tartlets before baking. Chilling the tartlets before baking will help to prevent them from puffing up too much. This will also help to ensure that the filling doesn't spill out of the tartlets.
- Serve the tartlets warm. Crab tartlets are best served warm, so they should be eaten as soon as they are out of the oven.
Conclusion:
Crab tartlets are a delicious and elegant appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be made ahead of time, making them a great option for busy hosts. With their flaky puff pastry crust and creamy crab filling, these tartlets are sure to be a hit with your guests.
