All holidays and significant events can not do without a thorough treat. At the same time, many housewives puzzle over how to diversify the menu, introduce something new, interesting. I propose to pay attention to homemade mini-receptions, in the context of which you can originally set the table and prepare wonderful dishes. But the buffet table assumes the presence of many goodies: canapes, valovans, tartlets. Perhaps we will start with the latter - tartlets, which are a dish that came to us from the homeland of fine cuisine, that is, France.
Tartlet Recipes
Tartlet recipes are quite diverse, but the main thing is to properly prepare the baskets themselves. There is a long introduction out of place, so immediately take up the recipe for the test.
- Knead the dough for tartlets from a pack of butter or margarine, sour cream (in the amount of ½ cup), salt to taste and flour. First, mix flour, oil (after mashing or grating), salt. It should turn out the dough in the form of small crumbs. Now pour the sour cream and, most likely, you will need to pour more flour. The result should be a flexible, uniform dough.
- Tartlet recipes will not be complete without a description of the process of their formation. To do this, tear small pieces from the total mass of the dough and distribute them according to the tartlet molds. This is the most difficult moment, because the dough in the mold should be translucent, but without holes. Perhaps for the first time it will be more convenient to thinly roll out the dough and then arrange it in cookie cutters.
- Do not forget to grease the molds with vegetable oil.
- And the last step is to put the molds in a preheated oven, where we bake at 180 degrees. When they get a golden color, you can remove and, after waiting until it cools down, shake out the finished tartlets.
Fillers for tartlets
Bringing the recipes of tartlets can not ignore their filling. Of course, there are many options, because they are stuffed with salads, fish, meat, vegetables. Therefore, I will try to bring one recipe for each type of filling.
- The cheese filling is prepared in this way: mix the cottage cheese and grated salted cheese, add 2 eggs and a little semolina. Take all the ingredients, depending on how many tartlets were planned to cook. Baskets do not need to be filled to the brim. After the cheese filling is laid, we heat the tartlets in the microwave or in the oven.
- Mushroom filling is done like this: finely chopped champignons and onions, fry in vegetable oil. Cook eggs and mix them with mushrooms, add mayonnaise, do not forget to salt.
- Recipes for tartlets can be quite unusual, for example, filling - pizza. In order to build it, we need sausage, tomatoes, cheese, tomato. First, grease the basket with tomato, then put the sausage sliced in circles, sprinkle with cheese on top, then a piece of tomato follows.
- Salmon fish filling is prepared as follows: we make the mass for stuffing from finely chopped salmon fillet, dill, grated piece of butter and cheese. Mix everything and finally grind in a blender. Or you can skip through a meat grinder. Let the mixture stand in the refrigerator for a while, then fill the tartlets.
Of course, this is not a complete list of possible fillings. After all, tartlets are also filled with salads, such as olivier, crab salad, etc.
Jewelry for tartlets
I am deeply convinced that leaving the finished tartlets without decoration is simply a crime. Such a wonderful dish should be presented accordingly. Moreover, to decorate them is quite simple, you can use a slice of tomato, bell pepper, or sprinkle with herbs on top. And also look great faces from pieces of eggs and cucumbers. A good and tasty option is red and black caviar.
Thus, the recipes of tartlets and toppings for them can provide everyone who loves to cook with room for imagination and creativity.
