MINI BRIE TARTS

Steps:

• Bake shells according to package directions. Let cool.
• Divide cheese in 12 pieces of equal size. Place in cooked shells.
• Bake in a 350°F oven for 15 minutes until cheese is melted.
• Top each tart with 1 Tsp of red pepper jelly.

• Tip:.
• You might prefer to remove the rind off the cheese.
• Shells can be baked and stored in the freezer for up to 1 week.
• Cranberry sauce is a good substitute for red pepper jelly.
• Ready to serve miniature croustades found at the Supermarket are ideal containers for these tarts and a wide range of other fillings. No baking required before filling.

BRIE, APPLE & ONION TART

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Unroll the pastry sheet onto a large baking tray (leave it on the paper from the pack). If the edges are not straight, trim them with a sharp knife. Score a border, about 1cm in from the edge. Score a criss-cross pattern over the central piece of pastry (this will prevent it from rising too much) and around the border, if you like. Bake for 15 mins.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large pan. Add the onions and cook for 10-15 mins until softened and starting to caramelise. Stir in the vinegar, bubble for 1 min more, then add the Dijon mustard and thyme, season well and set aside. Slice the apple thinly through the core so a few slices have a nice star in the middle, and remove any seeds. Toss the slices in a splash of vinegar to prevent them from browning.
• The pastry should be puffed and starting to colour. Push down the centre, then spread over the onions. Add blobs of cranberry sauce, then top with the apple slices and brie, overlapping them to cover the tart. Add a few more thyme sprigs, drizzle with a little oil, then put back in the oven for a further 25 mins until the cheese is bubbling and the apple slices are soft. Serve warm or cold.
