   • Gradually work in the flour until a dough ball forms.

2. Shape Tarts:

   • Divide the dough into 24 equal pieces.
   • Press each piece of dough into mini tart tins, covering the bottom and sides evenly.

3. Add Cheese:

   • Distribute the grated cheddar cheese evenly among the tart shells.

   • Stir in the milk, finely chopped green onion, salt, pepper, and onion powder until well combined.

5. Fill Tarts:

   • Spoon the prepared filling mixture into each tart shell, ensuring they’re evenly filled.

6. Bake:

   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Place the filled tart tins in the oven and bake for about 25 minutes, or until the tarts are golden brown and the filling is set.

7. Serve and Enjoy!

   • Once baked, remove the tarts from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
   • These Mini Cheddar Tarts are best enjoyed warm, straight from the oven, but they can also be served at room temperature for convenience.

Variations:

• Greek Style: Substitute the cheddar cheese with crumbled feta cheese and replace the green onion with finely chopped black olives. This Mediterranean-inspired variation adds a burst of tanginess and brininess to the tarts, perfect for those who crave a taste of Greece.
