Crab Meat Tartlets
Category: Appetizers
Serves: 5

Ingredients

Ingredient Quantity
Puff Pastry 230g
Crab Meat 120g
Heavy Cream 150g
Eggs 2
Parsley to taste
Fine Salt 1 tsp
Black Pepper a pinch
Butter as needed

Instructions

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

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. Bake: Place the filled tartlet pans on a baking sheet and bake them in a preheated oven until golden and cooked through.

  6. Serve: Allow the tartlets to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm as a delightful appetizer.

Enjoy these Crab Meat Tartlets that perfectly blend the richness of crab and creamy filling, nestled in a flaky puff pastry shell—an ideal starter for any gathering!
