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:
- Choose ripe avocados: For the best flavor and texture, select avocados that are ripe but not overripe. Give them a gentle squeeze; they should yield to slight pressure but not feel mushy.
- Prepare the crab meat: If using fresh crab meat, remove any shells or cartilage. If using canned crab meat, drain and flake it with a fork.
- Use high-quality cheese: The cheese is a key ingredient in this tartlet, so be sure to use a high-quality variety that you enjoy. A sharp cheddar or jack cheese works well.
- Don't overfill the tartlet shells: The filling should be mounded slightly in the center of the tartlet shells, but be careful not to overfill them. Otherwise, the filling may spill over during baking.
- Bake the tartlets until golden brown: The tartlets are done baking when the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
Conclusion:
These Jack Cheese and Crab Tartlets are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or light meal. The creamy avocado filling is perfectly complemented by the sharp cheddar cheese and flaky crust. Plus, they're a great way to use up leftover crab meat. So next time you're looking for a tasty and impressive dish to serve, give these tartlets a try!
