Easy Phyllo Pastry Tarts with Hot Pepper Jelly image

I made these for an appetizer evening and they were a big hit. The shells can be made ahead of time and frozen which is great for cutting your prep time on the big day. This looks especially festive at Christmas with green and red pepper jelly. If you make your own jelly, you can serve these at a Bridal shower in the bride's colors ;)

2 c shredded extra sharp cheese
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp paprika
1/2 c butter, softened
1 c flour
1 jar(s) red or green jalepeno jelly

Roll into 24 balls and place in miniature tart pans..make a thumbprint indention in each..add 1 tsp jalepeno jelly in each..bake for 10 minutes at 400 degrees

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife to cut the bell peppers into even-sized pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the bell peppers. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and becoming soggy.
  • Cook the bell peppers over medium heat until they are tender but still have a bit of a bite to them. This will help them retain their flavor and texture.
  • Be careful not to overcook the pepper jelly. If it gets too hot, it will lose its flavor and become thick and gooey.
  • Let the tarts cool slightly before serving. This will help them hold their shape and make them easier to eat.

Pepper jelly tarts are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be made ahead of time and refrigerated. With their sweet and spicy flavor, these tarts are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
