Description
A savory-sweet appetizer featuring flaky tartlet shells filled with honey-glazed carrots and toasted walnuts, topped with a delicate sprinkle of crumbled feta for a creamy, tangy finish.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1 package (12 count) pre-made mini tartlet shells
- 2 cups carrots, peeled and diced into small cubes
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- Fresh thyme leaves for garnish
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the tartlet shells on a baking sheet and bake according to package instructions until golden, about 8-10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the diced carrots and cook for 5-7 minutes until slightly tender. Stir in the honey, cumin, salt, and pepper, and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the carrots are glazed. Remove from heat and fold in the chopped walnuts.
- Spoon the honey-glazed carrot and walnut mixture evenly into the cooled tartlet shells.
- Crumble the feta cheese over the top of each tartlet, creating a light ‘snow’ effect. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves before serving.
