Time 50m

Yield 24 tartlets

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 sheets frozen phyllo dough, thawed
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
Vegetable oil, for brushing
1 large shallot, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
1/4 cup milk
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 1/2 ounces mild goat cheese, softened
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
2 large eggs, separated
1 10-ounce box frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
Chopped chives, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Melt 1 tablespoon butter. Place 1 phyllo sheet on a clean surface (cover the other sheets with a damp towel), brush with melted butter and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon parmesan. Cover with another phyllo sheet, brush with more butter and sprinkle with another teaspoon parmesan. Top with the remaining phyllo sheet and brush with butter. Cut the phyllo stack into 24 squares, about 3 inches each. Brush a 24-cup mini muffin tin with oil, then firmly press a phyllo square, buttered-side down, into each cup. Bake until golden, 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat the remaining 3 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallot and garlic and cook until translucent. Stir in the flour, then add the milk and stir until the mixture is smooth, 1 minute. Add the nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Stir in the goat cheese, lemon zest and vinegar until the cheese melts. Remove from the heat and mix in the egg yolks, then the spinach.
  • Beat the egg whites to stiff peaks and fold into the spinach filling. Spoon about 1 tablespoon filling into each phyllo cup and top with the remaining parmesan. Bake until the filling is set, 15 minutes. Cool slightly in the pan; remove and top with the chives.

I'm not a big fan of goat cheese, but I loved these tartlets! The spinach and cheese filling was creamy and flavorful, and the crust was perfectly flaky.

These tartlets were so easy to make and they turned out so good! I used frozen spinach and it worked just fine. I also used a store-bought pie crust to save time.

These tartlets were delicious! I used fresh spinach from my garden and the flavor was amazing. I also added a little bit of chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the filling for extra flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly and the tartlets turned out great! The only thing I would change is to use a little less salt in the filling.

The tartlets were good, but I found the crust to be a little bit too thick. I think I would have preferred a thinner crust.

These tartlets were a little bit too rich for my taste. I think I would have preferred a lighter filling.

I used a gluten-free pie crust and the tartlets turned out great! They were a little more delicate than regular tartlets, but they were still very delicious.
