Herbed Goat Cheese Tartlets

Posted on

You can make this quick and easy appetizer even when you are short on time. The flavor is entirely in your hands as there are a plethora of goat cheeses available. We especially like garlic and chive-flavored Monterey chevre in this tart. You and your guests will enjoy the rich cheese and herb flavor accompanied by a pleasant crunch from the pastry shell.

Ingredients
1-1/2 cups soft herbed goat cheese
2 large eggs
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
30 prebaked phyllo or puff pastry shells, thawed

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°. Whisk together cheese and eggs. Season with salt and pepper. Arrange pastry shells on a baking sheet and place a heaping teaspoon of cheese filling into each cup. Bake until puffed and golden, about 15 minutes. To brown the tops further, place under the broiler 1 to 2 minutes, but watch carefully to prevent burning.

Serve hot, while still puffed (they will deflate a bit, but are also delicious cold). Garnish with fresh chopped herbs.

Garnish

Ingredients
chopped fresh chives, thyme, or parsley
