Festive Savoury Tartlets

Submitted by An_Net

"These mini pastry tartlet shells are wonderful to have on hand for Christmas drinks. Other fillings could include caramelised onion and goats' cheese; a soft chicken liver pate; or simply pesto. They are also great served sweet with either mincemeat or lemon curd. (Serve soon after making or the pastry will soften.) * Chili jam is from Asian food stores."

I would give this recipe more than 5 stars - Fabulous, Appearance ease and taste WONDERFUL. I used Siljin wee ready made cups. Very light crisp cup. Had everything ready to assemble and 15 minutes befor serving put it all together We said WOW. The goat cheese I used was a light soft cheese that was perfect.

What an impressive start to our Christmas lunch! I used caramalised balsamic onions instead of chilli jam, and soft tomato goat's curd, with thyme instead of basil. I also made a batch with smoked salmon and herbed cream cheese. Yum!
