Mushroom and Cheese Curd Tartlets: Perfect Party Bites

A tasty and appetizing appetizer for the holiday table. Try it! A very tasty, hearty dish that is suitable for celebrating a birthday or other celebration. The advantage of tartlets is that they can be baked in advance — this allows you to plan the stages of preparation for the holiday. In general, tartlets add variety to table decoration, as they can be filled and decorated in different ways. In this recipe, I suggest filling them with mushrooms and cheese. This combination is a win-win. Try it and you wonʼt be disappointed! From the specified amount of products I get 40 tartlets. Sometimes a little less, sometimes more.

Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
Products needed to prepare the filling.

Step 2

Step 2
Cut the onion into small cubes, fry it until golden brown in vegetable oil and put it in a bowl or other container to cool.

Step 3

Step 3
Fry finely chopped champignons in the same oil. Add butter, sour cream or cream, pepper and salt.

Step 4

Step 4
Now add the mushrooms to the onions. If you want a less fatty filling, tip it onto a sieve to allow excess oil to drain.

Step 5

Step 5
To prepare the dough we need only 3 products in a 1:1:1 ratio. This is flour, cottage cheese and butter or margarine.

Step 6

Step 6
First, chop the butter or margarine with a knife, rub the cottage cheese through a sieve (by the way, you can mash it with a potato masher, it will turn out just as good!), and sift the flour. Knead the butter or margarine with some of the flour through your fingers, add the prepared cottage cheese. Then add the rest of the flour and knead a soft, homogeneous dough. Cover the finished dough or put it in a bag and in the refrigerator.

Step 7

Step 7
Roll the dough into a ball, hide it in a plastic bag, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Step 8

Step 8
Roll out the dough to a thickness of 0.3-0.4 cm. Select a stencil circle (saucer, lid, glass) with a diameter slightly larger than the molds in which we will bake the tartlets. We cut circles of the same size according to the stencil.

Step 9

Step 9
Place a circle of dough in each mold, press down the mold, and make several punctures with a fork in the bottom of the future tartlets. Place the molds on a baking sheet and place in the oven. We bake tartlets at 180 degrees. until slightly browned, not forgetting that they will still be in the oven along with the filling.

Step 10

Step 10
Let the finished tartlets cool slightly to make filling easier. Fill with prepared filling.

Step 11

Step 11
Sprinkle the top of the filled tartlets with grated cheese and place in the oven until it melts. Place on a tray or large platter and serve while still warm. They are also delicious when cooled.
