Tomato-Basil Tartlets

 A few Classic Tomato-Basil Tartlets are just what summer parties deserve. Fitting a basic Buttermilk Pâte Brisée dough into smaller tart pans & blind baking them offers a wonderful appetizer that may be passed during casual backyard barbecues. Roma tomatoes are the perfect size fruit to top the rich Jarlsburg & gouda cheese based filling while heirloom yellow tomatoes & fresh basil accent flawlessly. Accompany them with Chèvre-Basil Tartlets as they pair beautifully. Learn how to transform a Classic Tomato-Basil Tart into an appetizer everyone will rave over.

How To Make Classic Tomato-Basil Tartlets

Look to The Profile: Classic Tart Pans for pointers on fitting the pastry into the pans while this tutorial offers advice on how to prepare several tartlets that are ideal to serve for summer gatherings. 

The Technique

Prepare the Classic Tomato-Basil Tart as directed. Fit the Buttermilk Pâte Brisée into a variety of smaller tart & tartlet pans. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Fill the pastry shells with pie weights or dried beans. Bake 15 minutes. Proceed with the recipe instructions as provided baking an additional 20 minutes or until the crust is golden. Let stand 15 minutes in the pans, then gently loosen them with the tip of a paring knife & remove them. Place on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature. Garnish, if desired.
