1 cup all-purpose flour: This forms the basis of your mini tartlet shells. For a gluten-free version, you can use a gluten-free flour blend.

1/2 cup milk: Whole milk adds creaminess; you can substitute with almond milk or another dairy-free alternative if needed.

How to Make Galentine’s Brunch Foods: Savory Mini Tartlets

Mix Flour, Eggs, and Milk: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 large eggs, and 1/2 cup of milk. Using a whisk, mix until the batter is smooth and free of lumps; it should have a silky consistency. The blending process is key as it ensures a uniform texture for those delightful tartlets.

Heat Your Skillet: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. For the best results, allow it to become hot before adding the batter. This will create a beautifully golden exterior on your tartlet bottoms.

Pour the Batter: Once hot, gently pour a small amount of the batter into the skillet, just enough to cover the bottom in a thin layer. For perfectly sized tartlets, aim for about a quarter cup of batter per tartlet. You may want to adjust the amount based on your skillet size.

Cook Until Golden: Let the batter cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the edges start to lift away from the skillet and the bottom is golden brown. It’s okay to peek underneath to check for that beautiful color.

Flip and Finish Cooking: With a spatula, carefully flip the tartlet over and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. The goal here is to achieve a tender interior with a slight crispness on the outside. When done, remove from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Repeat the Process: Continue pouring the remaining batter into the skillet to form more tartlets, adjusting heat as necessary to avoid burning. Keep a close watch, flipping each as they brown until you’ve formed enough tartlets for your feast!

Serve and Enjoy: The beauty of these savory mini tartlets shines when you fill them. Consider filling them with cheese, vegetables, or any of your favorite spreads. Serve them warm, alongside friends, and enjoy every delightful bite together!

Storing & Reheating

Store leftover mini tartlets at room temperature in an airtight container for up to two days. For longer storage, refrigerate them in a sealed container for up to three days. If you want to enjoy these delights later, you can freeze them for up to three months. To reheat, simply pop them back into a skillet over low heat for about 5-7 minutes or until warmed through. Keep in mind that while the flavor remains delicious, the texture may change slightly—as such, serving them warm will always enhance their appeal.

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Avoid overmixing your batter; it should be just smooth enough to avoid any lumps.
Use room temperature eggs for a better incorporation and fluffiness in your batter.
If the skillet gets too hot, the tartlets may burn quickly, so adjust accordingly to maintain an even cook.
To enhance flavor, consider adding herbs or spices to the batter, such as thyme or garlic powder.
These tartlets can be made in advance; fill them just prior to serving to maintain freshness.

Savory mini tartlets are more than just a delicious food option; they are a canvas for creativity. Whether stuffed with hearty fillings, luscious cheeses, or vibrant vegetables, the potential is nearly endless. They deliver warmth and flavor all in a lovely bite-sized package.
