Instead of an afterword

Tartlets offer endless possibilities for any cook. Taking even the most familiar filling options as a basis, you can serve dishes in the most unusual way, playing on the decor. Portioned appetizers are invariably a success on any table, be it a buffet or a large family celebration. We hope that the filling options we offer will please you and add to your cookbook. Based on them, you can create your own original versions.

Portioned snacks are relevant for home feasts and outdoor buffets - they look impressive and are very convenient for guests.

The ideal filling for tartlets should be tender, but not very juicy, so that the dough of the basket retains its shape and taste. For stuffing you can use salads, pates, pastes, some cold and hot appetizers. When served this way, even the simplest recipe turns into a luxurious restaurant dish worthy of a dinner party, New Year's table and romantic evening.

What to consider when choosing a filling recipe

First of all, keep in mind that tartlets come in different sizes. The smallest ones are focused on serving caviar and gourmet cheeses. The larger ones are intended for cold appetizers, pates and salads. In the largest ones, it is customary to bake and serve hot snacks, for example, julienne.

Also note that different types of dough are used for the baskets. Shortbread, fresh, waffle, cheese and puff pastry. Puff pastry is more tender, but it quickly gets soaked and loses its shape, so it is recommended for dry fillings.

Tartlets, especially those made from waffle and thin puff pastry, should be eaten immediately. The filling can still be prepared in advance, but it should be placed in baskets immediately before serving. Lettuce leaves can be used as a preventive “spacer” if they taste compatible with other products and fit into the recipe.

What to cook so tasty and unusual? This question always faces conscientious housewives. When all the recipes have already been tried and all the options for different salads have been tasted, baskets with filling come to the rescue, the recipes of which we will discuss in this article.

A little about the base itself

Probably, almost every housewife knows what baskets with filling are. Photos of delicious tartlets with various fillings win the hearts of many gastronomes, prompting them to invent more and more new delicacies.

What serves as the basis for the baskets themselves? It is very important to find out this, since the taste of the dish and the use of filler depend on the type of dough.

There are many recipes for filled baskets, which can be made from puff pastry, shortbread, or yeast dough. Of course, ready-made tartlets can be purchased in almost any store. But this is not always the best option when it comes to the benefits and taste of the dish.

Below we provide a variety of recipes for filling baskets (with photos, step-by-step instructions and useful tips).

Delicate shortbread dough

Most often, tartlets are baked from it.

To prepare this dough, you need little:

  • flour in the amount of 320 g;
  • margarine - two hundred grams;
  • yolk - two pieces;
  • water - four tablespoons;
  • salt - one or two pinches (to taste).

The process of preparing the baskets will not take you much time:

  1. Add chopped margarine to the sifted flour and mix everything, rubbing thoroughly with your hands until fine crumbs form.
  2. After this, water and salt are added to the dough, everything is kneaded again and rolled into a large ball, which must be placed in the refrigerator for one to two hours.
  3. Then the dough should be divided into small pieces and placed in special molds.
  4. Baking time is from 20 to 25 minutes, with an oven heated to two hundred degrees. It is very important not to overcook here so that the thin dough does not burn.

Sour cream base

For the next recipe for delicious tartlets you will need to purchase the following products:

  • 480 grams of flour;
  • three hundred grams of margarine;
  • three hundred grams of sour cream.

The cooking method will also not be difficult for any housewife:

  1. Chop the margarine with a knife.
  2. Combine it with flour and grind until crumbs form.
  3. Add sour cream little by little, kneading the dough.
  4. Let the dough rest properly in the refrigerator (this will take about an hour).
  5. Bake at a temperature no higher than 180 °C, no more than half an hour.

Such hearty tartlets will be a worthy decoration for any holiday table, and will also diversify your everyday menu.

Delicious cheese base

It makes really unusual and satisfying baskets. To prepare them you need to take the following ingredients:

  • hard cheese of any type and brand - a quarter of a kilogram;
  • flour (you can even starch) - one tablespoon.
  1. Grate the cheese on a coarse grater, add flour or starch and mix.
  2. Then place a small amount of this mixture on a cold frying pan or baking sheet. Gradually, as it heats up, the cheese will melt and become elastic. Be careful not to burn it.
  3. As soon as the cheese has melted, it must be removed using a spatula and placed on a glass or small glass turned upside down, on the outside of the container.
  4. Then, after wetting your hands in cold water, you need to press the cheese to the bottom and walls of the vessel, then secure it with thread or an elastic band and leave it like that until it cools completely.

So, we got acquainted with the three most common recipes for making tartlets. Now let's move on to the most delicious and entertaining question - creating the filling.

Fillings for shortcrust pastry baskets

An appetizer in the form of a shortcrust pastry tartlet will definitely please any gourmet, especially since the variety of fillings is simply amazing. Most often, such tartlets are served with sweet fillings, but we will discuss this option a little later. And in this section we will talk about salty fillings for shortbread baskets (with photos and tips for preparing them).

For example, you can take the following set of products:

  • one hundred grams of hard cheese;
  • one medium-sized tomato;
  • one hundred grams of fried champignons (or any other mushrooms);
  • one hundred grams of boiled pork or beef tongue;
  • fifty grams of anchovies;
  • mayonnaise to taste.

To prepare a delicious filling for shortbread baskets from these ingredients, you need to finely chop all the products mentioned above (grate the cheese on a coarse grater), season with mayonnaise and place in a convenient amount on cooled tartlets. You can decorate with parsley leaves.

As you can see, the recipe for filled shortbread baskets is surprisingly elementary and simple.

Another option for filling such tartlets would be to use all kinds of salads.

Convenient filling

If you don’t know what to fill tartlets with, then we bring to your attention the easiest and most convenient way to fill them - salads, known to everyone.

For example, crab salad. To prepare it you will not need to use rice, but you will definitely need to take the following ingredients:

  • twenty grams of crab sticks;
  • fifty grams of cheese;
  • fifty grams of olives, preferably pitted;
  • fifty grams of pineapple (canned);
  • lettuce leaves;
  • mayonnaise for dressing (to taste).

To prepare this simple filling, all the products mentioned above should be finely chopped (preferably into equal pieces), mixed and seasoned with mayonnaise. Before transferring the salad into tartlets, place a small leaf of green lettuce on the bottom of each mold.

“Olivier” is another salad that can serve as a filling for a basket. True, this time you don’t need to take potatoes and carrots to prepare it. You will only need:

  • boiled chicken fillet or sausage - 50 g;
  • fried champignons - three hundred grams;
  • boiled egg - three pieces;
  • onion - one piece;
  • mayonnaise.

Fry the onions with mushrooms. At this time, cut the meat (or sausage) and egg into small pieces and mix them with mayonnaise. Place the egg-meat mixture into tartlets and decorate with fried mushrooms and herbs.

To prepare another salad as a filling, you need to take the following set of products:

  • a can of canned cod liver;
  • eggs - four pieces;
  • one hundred grams of cheese;
  • green onions;
  • mayonnaise.

Let's take care of the eggs first. They should be boiled, after which the whites are separated from the yolk. Finely chop the white and mash the yolk with a fork. We also chop the liver, then mix it with protein. Season everything with mayonnaise.

Place the finished filling into tartlets. Decorate the top with yolk and chopped herbs.

Many experienced housewives add other ingredients to this recipe. For example, one hundred grams of boiled carrots and pickled or pickled cucumbers. This makes the filling brighter in appearance and more exotic in taste.

Fillings for cheese tartlets

Below you will find recipes with photos and step-by-step descriptions.

To fill the cheese tartlets, take the following ingredients:

  • 5 tablespoons rice;
  • 5 tablespoons of canned corn;
  • eight pieces of crab sticks;
  • one fresh cucumber;
  • mayonnaise and salt - to taste.

First of all, boil the rice until fully cooked and cool. Then cut the crab sticks and cucumber into small cubes, and drain the liquid from the canned corn. After this, mix all the ingredients, season with mayonnaise and place in molds.

For the next cheese tartlet filling recipe you will need to use:

  • 250 g boiled shrimp;
  • one or two tomatoes;
  • one or two cloves of garlic;
  • mayonnaise, herbs, salt to taste.

The most important ingredient, of course, is shrimp. They must be boiled in salted water with the addition of bay leaves, spices and lemon juice. Cook the shrimp for no more than ten minutes, until they float to the surface of the water.

The next step is to remove the skin from the tomato (optional) and chop the garlic. Then the shrimp and tomatoes need to be finely chopped.

Having mixed all the ingredients and seasoned them with mayonnaise, put our delicious filling in cheese baskets.

What else can you fill these tartlets with? You can prepare the following ingredients:

  • chicken fillet - 200 grams;
  • any mushrooms - two hundred grams;
  • carrots - 100 g;
  • onions - 50 grams;
  • mayonnaise - for dressing;
  • greens and tomato - to decorate the dish.

Now let's make the filling:

  1. The fillet should be boiled in salted water, and so should the mushrooms. If you take porcini mushrooms or champignons, it is not necessary to boil them.
  2. Grate the carrots on a medium grater, finely chop the onions, mushrooms and chicken.
  3. Fry the pieces of meat in vegetable oil, then add onions, carrots and mushrooms to the pan every three minutes. Don't forget to stir regularly.
  4. Next, add mayonnaise to the hot mass, mix again and simmer under the lid for one to two minutes.
  5. As soon as the filling has cooled, fill the tartlets with it and serve.

A very unusual filling for cheese baskets would be smoked meat. For this we need:

  • 400 g smoked meat;
  • 5-6 pieces of tomatoes;
  • five cloves of garlic;
  • to taste: mayonnaise, salt, pepper, herbs.

Finely chop the smoked meat and tomatoes, chop the garlic through a press. Add spices and season with mayonnaise. We decorate the finished baskets with chopped herbs.

As you can see, cheese tartlets are very tasty filled with seafood or meat.

Filling for waffle baskets

You can buy waffle tartlets almost everywhere. What should we fill them with? Below are a few quick recipes that will help you please your guests with minimal time and effort.

Let's start with the following products:

  • 200 grams of boiled sausage and Korean carrots;
  • one hundred grams of cheese;
  • and, of course, mayonnaise for dressing.

The quantities of ingredients mentioned above are for 10 servings.

So, cut the sausage and cheese into small cubes, then mix with carrots, season everything with mayonnaise and put in molds. After this, it is advisable to serve the tartlets on the table immediately so that they do not get wet or break.

For vegetarians or those who are on a diet but want to treat themselves to something tasty, this recipe is suitable:

  • 350 grams of beets;
  • 75 grams of walnuts;
  • three cloves of garlic;
  • sesame, greens - for decoration;
  • salt, mayonnaise.

First, boil the beets and grate them on a medium or fine grater. Chop nuts and garlic, combine with beets and season with mayonnaise. Then we put everything into tartlets and decorate with sesame seeds or chopped herbs.

Hearty and delicious desserts

Of course, it is impossible not to mention the sweet filling for baskets, which is suitable as a delicacy for both the festive table and the everyday menu.

Preparing tartlets as a dessert involves using various berries, fruits and creams. We will talk about this in more detail below.

Cottage cheese as the main filling

Many people consider the most delicious desserts made from shortbread baskets. The filling for such tartlets should be tender and light. For example, you can take the following list of products:

  • cottage cheese in the amount of 150 grams;
  • half a glass of sour cream;
  • 3 tablespoons of sugar (preferably powdered sugar);
  • teaspoon starch.

Mix all ingredients, beat with a mixer and place in tartlets. You can pour caramel or glaze on top of them, and put a small sour berry inside.

Cherry filling

This delicacy will satisfy any gourmet. For example, you can add fillings from the following products to shortbread tartlets:

  • fresh or seedless (400 grams);
  • cream (125 ml);
  • milk (125 ml);
  • butter (50 grams);
  • eggs (one piece);
  • sugar (two teaspoons);
  • starch (20 grams).

So, mix all the ingredients (except for the berries), put it on low heat and cook until tender, stirring constantly.

We put a few cherries in each tartlet, then fill them with custard and put them in the oven to bake. The optimal cooking time is twenty minutes at a temperature of 180-200 degrees.

Appetizing apple

A good idea when baking tartlets is to use covered tart pans. To do this, you need to prepare small circles in the form of lids from the base. What to fill the tartlets with?

Here's one option:

  • one and a half glasses of applesauce;
  • 2 tablespoons almonds or peanuts (roasted);
  • powdered sugar for decoration.

So, mix the ingredients, put them in molds and cover with round “lids”. Then we put the baskets in the oven and bake for no more than half an hour at a temperature of 190-200 degrees.

Before serving the dish, sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Don't forget about improvisation

As you can see, there is a huge variety of recipes for fillings for baskets. It is impossible to mention them all, but you can realize the main thing: improvisation is important in preparing the filling for tartlets.

So don't be afraid to experiment. Whatever you have on hand will do here. If you want the dish to be served as an appetizer, then sausages, mushrooms, pieces of meat, seafood, cheese, vegetables and much more are suitable for its filling. Don’t forget to season everything with mayonnaise or any other suitable sauce, and also garnish with chopped herbs.

If you prepare tartlets as a dessert, then you can diversify it with cottage cheese and custard, as well as an abundance of fruit and berry fillings. Many housewives fill such fillings with their own prepared jelly, which looks original and tempting. You can decorate such dishes with glaze, caramel, or grated chocolate.
