Ingredients

12 pieces Premade tart shells
4 oz Cream cheese
6 tbsp Pepper jelly
1 tbsp Chives or fresh herbs (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Arrange the premade tart shells on a baking sheet.

Step 3

Using a spoon or small spatula, fill each tart shell with approximately 1 teaspoon of cream cheese, ensuring the bottom is evenly covered.

Step 4

Add about 1/2 tablespoon of pepper jelly on top of the cream cheese in each tart shell, spreading it gently without mixing the layers.

Step 5

Place the filled tart shells into the preheated oven and bake for 8 minutes. The tart shells should be lightly warmed, and the jelly slightly glossy.

Step 6

Remove from the oven and let the tarts cool slightly for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before garnishing and serving.

Step 7

If desired, finely chop the chives or fresh herbs and sprinkle on top of each tart for added color and freshness.

Step 8

Serve warm or at room temperature as a delightful appetizer or snack.
