Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh oysters. If you can't find fresh oysters, you can use frozen oysters, but make sure to thaw them completely before using.
- To make sure the tartlets are cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of a tartlet. If the toothpick comes out clean, the tartlets are done.
- Serve the tartlets immediately, while they are still warm. You can garnish them with fresh herbs, such as chives or parsley, or a dollop of sour cream.
- If you don't have a tart pan, you can use a muffin tin. Just fill each muffin cup with the tart dough and then add the filling.
- You can also make these tartlets ahead of time. Just bake them according to the recipe and then let them cool completely. Store the tartlets in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat the tartlets in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until they are warmed through.
