Ingredients
- 1 package refrigerated pie dough
- 1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Fresh thyme leaves for garnish
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the refrigerated pie dough on a floured surface and use a round cutter to cut out 12 circles. Press each circle into a mini muffin tin to form the flaky tartlet crusts. Prick the bottoms with a fork to prevent puffing.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, eggs, and Dijon mustard until smooth. Stir in the Gruyère, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses, then season with salt and black pepper. This rich cheese mixture creates a creamy filling that pairs beautifully with the crisp crust.
Step 3
Spoon the cheese filling into each tartlet shell, filling them almost to the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tartlets are golden and bubbly. The filling should be set and the crust lightly browned.
Step 4
Remove the Savory Cheese Tartlets from the oven and let them cool slightly before transferring to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves for a touch of herbal freshness. Serve warm and enjoy these delicious bites as a standout appetizer.
