Brie-Leek Tartlets
Appetizers
1 medium leek (white portion only), finely chopped
3 tablespoons butter
1 garlic clove, minced
½ cup heavy whipping cream
Dash salt and white pepper
Dash ground nutmeg
1 package (1.9 ounces) frozen miniature phyllo tart shells (see recipe in Breads)
2 ounces Brie cheese, rind removed
Minced fresh parsley, optional
In a small skillet, saute leek in butter until tender. Add the garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in the cream, salt, pepper and nutmeg; cook and stir until thickened, 1-2 minutes.
Place tart shells on a baking sheet. Slice cheese into 15 pieces; place 1 piece in each tart shell. Top each with 1-1/2 teaspoons leek mixture.
Bake at 350° until heated through, 6-8 minutes. If desired, sprinkle with parsley. Refrigerate leftovers.
