Easy Tomato-Cheese Tartlets
Purchase a package of precooked, ready-to-fill miniature pastry shells.
Sprinkle the bottom of each shell with grated gruyere, Emmenthal, or manchego
cheese. Top with cherry tomato thirds, followed by slivered, oil-cured olives (1
for each tartlet, and make sure they are pitted) and a bit of minced fresh
basil.
Bake in a preheated 375°F oven for about 15 minutes. Sprinkle each tartlet with
another pinch of minced basil. Serve warm or at room temperature. |
