HAM-AND-CHEESE TARTINES
These tartines -- ham and cheese; tomato, olive, and chevre; and Nicoise with tuna and egg -- are made with toasted sourdough bread, which can stand up to the toppings. This recipe works equally well with other cheeses: Try a mild fontina or Comte in place of the Gruyere.

Tips:
- For a flakier crust, use a combination of butter and shortening.
- Be sure to chill the dough before baking. This will help prevent the crust from shrinking.
- Don't overfill the tart shells. Leave about 1/2 inch of space at the top.
- Bake the tarts until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. This usually takes about 25-30 minutes.
- Let the tarts cool slightly before serving. This will help prevent the filling from running out.
