Prepare the Parsley: Begin by washing, drying, and finely chopping the parsley. This will be used to flavor the tartlet filling.

-
Shape the Puff Pastry: Roll out the puff pastry and cut out 5 discs, making sure they are large enough to fit into your tartlet pans. Once shaped, remove any excess pastry.
-
Make the Filling: In a bowl, crack the eggs and beat them with a fork. Season with a pinch of salt, a dash of black pepper, and the chopped parsley. Add the heavy cream to the mixture, combining it thoroughly.
-
Fill the Tartlets: Spoon about two tablespoons of the egg and cream mixture into each tartlet mold. Then, add a portion of crab meat into each, gently pressing it into the filling.
-
Bake: Place the filled tartlet pans on a baking sheet and bake them in a preheated oven until golden and cooked through.
-
Serve: Allow the tartlets to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm as a delightful appetizer.
