Blue Cheese Tarts
puff pastry sheets
1 egg
¾ c. emmenthaler cheese,grated
3 oz. blue cheese, crumbled
3 oz. spinach, trimmed (I use frozen thawed)
2/3 c. heavy cream
¼ t. nutmeg
2 T. pine nuts
s and p
Defrost pastry. Get all the water out of the spinach. In a bowl mix egg, cream, cheeses, nutmeg, and s&p and beat with a fork. Add the chopped spinach and mix. Roll out dough on a floured surface as thinly as possible. Cut circles with a 2 ½ inch cutter. Line tart cups with pastry (sprayed with pam first). Add the mixture about ¾. Sprinkle with a few pinenuts on top. Bake until the curst is golden at 425º for about 15 minutes. Makes 18.
I usually make six times this recipe. I freeze the cooled tarts on a sheet pan and then bag for the freezer. I put the pastry sheets through a pasta machine to get them real thin.
Great! My sister is coming for a visit in Aug. so I'm planning a menu now! I can make these up ahead of time!!
