BREAKFAST TARTS

Steps:

• For the tart crust: Mix the flour, sugar, cardamom and salt in a food processor. Add the butter and shortening, and pulse until the mixture looks like coarse meal. Drizzle in the ice water and vanilla, and pulse until the dough comes together. Turn the dough out onto a piece of plastic wrap and form into a ball. Wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
• For the blueberry compote: While the dough is resting, place the blueberries, sugar and lemon juice in a pot and bring to a boil. Boil for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the cornstarch and water, stirring to combine. Return to the heat and simmer until the compote reaches a thick, jam-like consistency, about 8 minutes.
• To assemble: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Roll out the dough to about 1/8-inch thick on a floured work surface and then cut into 4-by-3-inch rectangles using a pastry press or knife. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Place a heaping teaspoon of blueberry compote in the center of half of the rectangles and brush the edges with beaten egg. Top with the remaining rectangles and seal using a fork or dough crimper.
• Bake the tarts for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush the tops with milk. Return to the oven for another 10 minutes, until golden brown.

MINI BREAKFAST TART RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• Make the dough: In a bowl, stir together the flour and salt. Add the butter and shortening and, using a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut them in until the mixture resembles coarse bread crumbs. Sprinkle in the water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, stirring gently with a fork after each addition and adding only enough of the water to form a rough mass. Using floured hands, pat the dough into a smooth, flattened disk. Use immediately, or wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Press the dough into six 4-inch tart pans. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Preheat an oven to 400°F. Line the tart shells with parchment paper or aluminum foil and fill with pie weights. Bake until the shells are set and the paper does not stick when lifted, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the paper and weights and continue baking until the shells are golden, 5 to 7 minutes more. Transfer the pans to a wire rack and let cool completely, about 20 minutes. Line the bottom of each tart shell with 3/4 oz. ham and sprinkle with 1 tsp. green onions. Crack an egg into the center, pour 1 tsp. cream over the egg and sprinkle with 2 tsp. cheese. Bake until the whites are set and the yolks are cooked, about 15 minutes. Transfer the pans to a wire rack and let cool for 3 minutes. Using a pot holder, carefully turn each pan over and tap the bottom to release the tart. Set the tarts on individual plates. Garnish each tart with a pinch of pepper and serve immediately. Serves 6.
