Description
These savory tarts capture the flavors of summer in a cute little pastry – perfect with an Aperol Spritz in the afternoon.
Ingredients
For the crust
6 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, melted
For the filling
1 5.3-ounce block of Boursin Cheese, at room temperature
1 pint currant tomatoes*
Basil chiffonade, for garnish
Instructions
For the crust
Mix together the cream cheese, flour, salt, and melted butter.
Form into a flattened disk and wrap in plastic wrap.
Chill dough for 1 hour.
For the filling
If using grape or cherry tomatoes, quarter each tomato, removing seeds as needed.
To assemble
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a mini muffin tin with nonstick baking spray. Remove dough from the refrigerator and roll out to just a little over ⅛” thickness. Cut crusts using a 2½” round cutter. Place each round in the muffin tin, using a tamper or your fingers to carefully form each tart shell.
Alternatively, use a cookie scoop to form 1″ balls of dough and use a tamper or your fingers to form each tart shell. Fill each crust with 1 tablespoon of Boursin Cheese being careful not to overfill. Top with tomatoes.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Let sit in muffin tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing to a cooling rack.
Garnish with basil before serving.
