Description

Buttery mini tarts filled with sweet pineapple jam and topped with savory melted cheddar cheese, creating a perfect balance of flavors in every bite.


Ingredients

  • All-purpose flour: 250 g
  • Unsalted butter: 150 g
  • Powdered sugar: 60 g
  • Egg yolk: 1 large
  • Pineapple jam: 200 g
  • Cheddar cheese: 100 g, finely grated


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 170°C and prepare tart molds or a mini muffin tray.
  2. In a mixing bowl, rub the cold butter into the flour until the mixture resembles fine crumbs.
  3. Add the powdered sugar and egg yolk, then gently mix until a soft dough forms.
  4. Lightly grease the molds and press small portions of dough evenly into each mold.
  5. Spoon a small amount of pineapple jam into the center of each tart.
  6. Top with finely grated cheddar cheese.
  7. Bake for 18 minutes until the pastry is lightly golden and the cheese has melted.
  8. Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, then unmold and serve.

Notes

  • Use thick pineapple jam to prevent overflow during baking.
  • Finely grate the cheese for even melting.
  • Allow tarts to cool before storing to maintain texture.
