An irreplaceable wand-zashchalochkoy for her in this situation will be tartlets - small baskets of dough, filled with various fillings. They are prepared easily and quickly and can become both a full dinner and a wonderful snack for a cocktail party.

Invented tartlets in ancient Rome. They are a reduced version of Neapolitan pizzas and pies, where the chefs served a variety of snacks and side dishes. Practical Austrians intercepted the idea and began to lay out on the tartlets the remains of unused foods and salads. To date, tartlets have taken their place of honor in many cuisines around the world.

You can buy tartlets almost at any store. But if you have free time and desire, you can cook them yourself. For this we need 200 gr. Margarine or butter, 120 gr. Sour cream, 2 tbsp. Flour, salt. Margarine grate, mix with flour and salt, grind your hands into crumbs. Add the sour cream and carefully knead the dough. When tearing off small pieces, spread a thin layer of dough on the molds previously lubricated with oil. Bake at 200 degrees. After 15-18 minutes you can enjoy an unforgettable taste and aroma of freshly baked crisp tartlets.

A variety of fillings are used for their preparation: fish, meat, mushrooms, vegetables, fruits or sweets - it all depends on your taste and imagination. Very popular is the mushroom filling.

Tastefuls with mushrooms and cheese are not less tasty variant of the above-described recipe. For their preparation we will need the following products: Fresh mushrooms, onion, carrots, mayonnaise and cheese. The quantity and ratio of products is arbitrary. Mushrooms must be finely chopped and fried with onions and carrots, seasoned with mayonnaise, put them on the tartlets and sprinkle with cheese. Then you can decorate them with parsley sprigs and serve them to the table, or you can put them in the oven for a few minutes to make the cheese melt, and serve like a hot snack. As in the first, and in the second case, the taste is extraordinary.

Tats with mushrooms and chicken will become a real find for those who are fond of tasty and satisfying snacks.
