Provided by Alexandra

Categories     Appetiser     Finger Food     Snack

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 sheet puff pastry (See Note 1)
75 g (2.5 oz) blue cheese (See Note 2)
2 tbsp cream - pouring/single (See Note 3)
1 large egg
1 tsp chives - finely chopped
freshly ground black pepper - to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 200 Degrees C (390 F).
  • Remove the pastry from the freezer shortly before preparing the filling.(Don't remove it too early or it will be difficult to cut neatly. The pastry will have a better texture if it is still chilled when placed in the oven.)
  • Grease the patty pan tin (or muffin tin if using) well - see Note 4.
  • Add the blue cheese, cream, egg, chives and freshly ground black pepper to the bowl of a food processor and blend until thoroughly mixed.
  • When the pastry has just defrosted, using a 6 cm (2 ¼ inch) cookie cutter for patty pan tins or 7 ½ cm (3 inch) cutter for muffin tins, cut rounds of pastry and put into prepared muffin tin/patty pans, gently pushing the pastry down into place.You will cut 12 rounds for the patty pan or 9 for the muffin tin.
  • Evenly distribute the filling between the pastry cases. This is about 1 tablespoon (4 teaspoons) for the patty pans and 1 ½ tablespoons (6 teaspoons) for the muffin tins.
  • Bake in the oven for about 12 minutes in the patty pans or 12 - 15 in the muffin tins. The time will vary depending on the heat of your oven but bake until the filling puffs and becomes golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and cool for 5 minutes before removing and placing on a wire rack to cool and store - or serve warm immediately.
  • If making them in advance, reheat in a pre-heated 180 degrees C (350 F) oven for 5 - 7 minutes.

MINI BLUE CHEESE TARTLETS



Mini Blue Cheese Tartlets image

These are so simple and easy. You do most of the preparation ahead of time. The surprise is the healthy broccoli in the recipe. It works. Use scissors to finely snip the broccoli - It makes it so easy. I suggest using full cream sour cream but if you want it lower fat sub 2% cottage cheese for the sour cream - Be sure that you enjoy Blue cheese - especially warm blue cheese before making this recipe or you won't enjoy it!. The filling does rise a bit so do not over fill the shells. - Bon appetite.
