As for tartlets, this is simply a necessary attribute of any evening party. Since you have not prepared them yet, it means that you simply do not know all their advantages. The history of tartlets originates in the distant XIV century. Then this cooking option was simply called a “pie”. The current name of the tartlet was acquired only in 1651. This is a merit of the French chefs who brought “into the light” snacks in tartlets. Recipes of those times are widely used today.
It is much easier to prepare compact snacks in baskets today, since the tins are sold ready-made, and from different types of dough. This allows you to not be limited in taste. Tartlets can be either sweet or savory, vegetarian and meat, hot and cold, in general, the way you want them to be. For the most part, it all depends on the filling you choose. Your desire to do something exclusive can now be easily fulfilled.
When preparing ready-made snacks in the form of tartlets, some features must be taken into account. Since the dough has the ability to accumulate moisture, it is worth filling the baskets with the filling immediately before serving. The soft dough erodes all the taste of the products that are in it. It is better to store the filling in a separate bowl and replenish the amount of snacks in a timely manner. Hassle is added a little, but all of them are more than justified.
The filling of the baskets is quite varied. After all, you can simply season them with meat, fish, grated boiled eggs, decorating with mayonnaise or cream cheese. Consider the most delicious snacks in tartlets. Recipes often include the presence of pastes, and it is often used precisely liver. Such an appetizer is both hearty and tasty. It seems everything is simple, but they just eat them with a bang. A drop of mayonnaise and a carrot slice cut out by a figure will add beauty. Options with salads are not ruled out. Snacks on toothpicks cannot afford such a delight. So, salad options:
- Crab sticks, grated hard cheese and boiled eggs, grated on a fine grater.
- Finely chopped chicken breast (preferably ham), mushrooms and boiled eggs.
- Sliced eggs and pre-boiled shrimp. It remains to add slices of canned pineapple and season with mayonnaise.
- Shredded sardine or pink salmon (canned food), boiled eggs, cream cheese and pickled onions. Marinade: ½ vinegar, ½ water, 1 tbsp. l Sahara. For complete readiness, onions need to lie in the liquid for only 15 minutes.
Do not count the options, it all depends on your imagination!
Many will also like sweet snacks in tartlets. Recipes are mainly based on fruit, honey and whipped cream. Such a dessert can be made dietary, because fruits contain a small amount of calories, which means that they will not lead to the appearance of extra "kg" after the celebration of the party, where the main food is snacks in baskets. Toothpicks can also dilute the range of compact dishes. Most often, sliced sausages and cheeses are strung on them. These canapes are usually served with strong drinks. Fantasy, cook and surprise!
