Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package frozen mini phyllo shells or puff pastry sheets
  • 1 cup mixed finely chopped vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, zucchini, carrots, spinach)
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven according to the phyllo shell or puff pastry package directions.
  2. If using puff pastry, cut into small squares to fit mini muffin tins.
  3. In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped chives, salt, and pepper.
  4. Stir in the finely chopped mixed vegetables until well combined.
  5. Spoon the vegetable and cheese mixture into the prepared phyllo shells or puff pastry cups.
  6. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is heated through.
  7. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • These tartlets can be assembled ahead of time and baked just before serving.
  • For a make-ahead option, bake the tartlets and reheat them gently in a low oven (around 250°F or 120°C) for 5-10 minutes.
  • You can substitute other cheeses like Gruyere or goat cheese for variety.
  • Add a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder to the filling for extra flavor.
