MINI BLUE CHEESE TARTLETS

These are so simple and easy. You do most of the preparation ahead of time. The surprise is the healthy broccoli in the recipe. It works. Use scissors to finely snip the broccoli - It makes it so easy. I suggest using full cream sour cream but if you want it lower fat sub 2% cottage cheese for the sour cream - Be sure that you enjoy Blue cheese - especially warm blue cheese before making this recipe or you won't enjoy it!. The filling does rise a bit so do not over fill the shells. - Bon appetite.

MAYTAG BLUE CHEESE AND POTATO TARTLETS



Maytag Blue Cheese and Potato Tartlets image

Provided by M. J. Adams

Categories     Milk/Cream     Potato     Bake     Vegetarian     Blue Cheese     Rosemary     Fall     Thyme     Gourmet

Yield Makes 6 first-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

For pastry
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold Plugrá (ultracreamy) butter or other unsalted butter, cut into bits
3 to 4 tablespoons San Pellegrino or tap water
For filling
3/4 pound small red potatoes
1 cup heavy cream
1 large egg yolk
1/4 pound Maytag blue cheese, crumbled (3/4 cup)
1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh thyme
1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
Fleur de sel or other coarse sea salt for sprinkling
Special Equipment
a pastry or bench scraper; 6 (4-inch) tartlet pans

Steps:

  • Make pastry:
  • Blend together flour, salt, and butter with your fingertips or a pastry blender (or pulse in a food processor) just until mixture resembles coarse meal with some small (roughly pea-size) butter lumps. Drizzle evenly with 3 tablespoons water and gently stir with a fork (or pulse in processor) until incorporated.
  • Squeeze a small handful of dough. If it doesn't hold together, add up to 1 tablespoon more water, stirring (or pulsing) until just incorporated, then test again. (Be careful not to overwork dough, or pastry will be tough.)
  • Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 6 portions. With heel of your hand, smear each portion once or twice in a forward motion to help distribute fat. Gather dough portions together with scraper and press into a ball, then flatten into a 6-inch disk. Chill, wrapped in plastic wrap, until firm, at least 30 minutes.
  • Fill and bake tartlets:
  • Put oven rack in middle position |and preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Cut potatoes into ¼-inch-thick slices and cover with cold water by 2 inches in a 1-quart saucepan. Simmer, uncovered, until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Whisk together cream and yolk until combined.
  • Divide dough into 6 equal pieces. Roll out each piece into a 5-inch round with a floured rolling pin on a lightly floured surface, then fit each into a tartlet pan. Trim excess dough, leaving a 1/4-inch overhang, then fold overhang inward and press against side of pans to reinforce edge. Chill shells until pastry is firm, at least 10 minutes.
  • Arrange about 4 potato slices, overlapping slightly, in each tart shell and crumble 2 tablespoons cheese into each. Divide cream mixture among tartlets, filling to 1/8 inch from top. Sprinkle each tartlet with 1/4 teaspoon each of thyme and rosemary and season lightly with fleur de sel. (If your sea salt is very coarse, lightly crush before sprinkling.)
  • Bake tartlets on a baking sheet until bubbling and golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool in pans on a rack 10 minutes, then remove from pans and serve warm.
