EASY PHYLLO PASTRY TARTS WITH HOT PEPPER JELLY
I made these for an appetizer evening and they were a big hit. The shells can be made ahead of time and frozen which is great for cutting your prep time on the big day. This looks especially festive at Christmas with green and red pepper jelly. If you make your own jelly, you can serve these at a Bridal shower in the bride's colors ;)

Steps:
- Take 2 sheets of pastry and cover the rest with a damp cloth to keep from drying out.
- Brush a thin layer of butter on one sheet and stack the other sheet on top.
- Cut the stacked sheet in half.
- (A pizza cutter works great for this) Brush one rectangle with butter and place the other one on top.
- You will then have a 7 x 11 pastry sheet with four layers.
- Cut that into 12 equal squares.
- Press each square into a greased mini muffin tin.
- Bake at 350 degrees until golden brown, about 10-15 minutes.
- Repeat with remaining sheets, remembering to keep unused sheets covered.
- Shells may be frozen at this point or filled and ready to serve.
- To fill: Place 1/2- 1 teaspoon of cream cheese in the center of each tart.
- Top with 1/2 to 1 tsp of jelly.
- May be served as is or baked for 10 minutes and served warm.

Steps:
- 1. Mix first 4 ingredients with a mixer or a food processor..(carefull not to over process) Add the flour and mix until dough forms a ball. Roll into 24 balls and place in miniature tart pans..make a thumbprint indention in each..add 1 tsp jalepeno jelly in each..bake for 10 minutes at 400 degrees
Tips:
- Use a sharp knife to cut the pepper jelly, as a dull knife will crush the peppers and make the jelly less smooth.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the peppers and nuts by hand. However, a food processor will make the job much easier and faster.
- Be careful not to overmix the filling, as this can make the tarts tough.
- Bake the tarts until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
- Let the tarts cool slightly before serving, as they will be very hot when they come out of the oven.
