Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Premade tart shells
- 4 oz Cream cheese
- 6 tbsp Pepper jelly
- 1 tbsp Chives or fresh herbs (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Arrange the premade tart shells on a baking sheet.
Using a spoon or small spatula, fill each tart shell with approximately 1 teaspoon of cream cheese, ensuring the bottom is evenly covered.
Add about 1/2 tablespoon of pepper jelly on top of the cream cheese in each tart shell, spreading it gently without mixing the layers.
Place the filled tart shells into the preheated oven and bake for 8 minutes. The tart shells should be lightly warmed, and the jelly slightly glossy.
Remove from the oven and let the tarts cool slightly for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before garnishing and serving.
If desired, finely chop the chives or fresh herbs and sprinkle on top of each tart for added color and freshness.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a delightful appetizer or snack.
