Ham & Swiss Tarts

I've been looking for some new recipes as we've been in a little bit of a rut lately...I'm sure you didn't notice. :) Since this weekend in celebrating Memorial Day, I thought this recipe is perfect to bring to a party. I made the tarts full sized (in muffin tins) or they can be made into tartlets using a mini muffin tin. They would be great to take to a picnic and be eaten at room temperature. Just wait to taste them until you get to your party, otherwise you might show up empty-handed.

1 prepared pie crust
2 cups shredded swiss cheese
2/3 cup finely chopped ham
1/3 cup chopped green onions
2/3 cup sour cream
salt and fresh ground pepper

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Roll out the pie crust and cut into circles to fit into the desired sized. Spray the muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray. Gently place the crust circles into the muffin tins. Blind bake for 10 minutes. Take the crusts out. If they've puffed up, press them down gently with the back of a spoon or a tart shaper.

While the crusts are baking, mix together the ham, cheese, green onions and sour cream in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.

Fill up the warm pie crusts tarts with the filling mixture. I was able to make 11 full-sized tarts. Bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the tarts are hot and melted.
