Easy Phyllo Pastry Tarts with Hot Pepper Jelly image

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 ;)

3 tablespoons butter, melted
1 (250 g) package cream cheese
1 jar hot pepper jelly (available at the deli or make your own with Hot Pepper Jelly recipe 58516 or Spicy Habenaro Jelly re)

Steps:

  • Take 2 sheets of pastry and cover the rest with a damp cloth to keep from drying out.

  • 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.

2 c shredded extra sharp cheese
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp paprika
1/2 c butter, softened
1 c flour
1 jar(s) red or green jalepeno jelly

Steps:

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.

Pepper jelly tarts are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be enjoyed as a light meal. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a tasty treat that is sure to please everyone.
