I am so excited to make this for Thanksgiving. Perfect with the light mousse and a great big cranberry flavor. And the cranberry curd on top? Ermagerd, it is so tart and sharp. It is super light and silky and doesn’t leach moisture into the crust. The white chocolate mousse is perfect for the base. But once I saw the beautiful color of the cranberry curd, I just couldn’t cover it up. When I decided to make a tart with cranberry curd and white chocolate I imagined putting the cranberry curd on the bottom so I could pipe some lovely white chocolate mousse roses on the top. I think it’s because they’re so purty on top with their roses and stars. My Earl Grey, Lemon, and Lavender Tart and Dark Chocolate Espresso Tart have hundreds of thousands of pins. Pairing a few fillings with the perfect crust is such a fun seasonal challenge. I like to have a few small plates out for guests to nibble on throughout the day so that people don’t get hangry when the turkey inevitably takes longer than scheduled.Good thing I LOVE layered tarts. These would also be great to serve as Thanksgiving day appetizers. Serve these next to a nice cheese plate and some bacon wrapped dates and you have a nice little cocktail party spread with hardly any effort. The crunch of the phyllo cup combined with the buttery flavor of the brie and the sweet tart flavor of the cranberry sauce all compliment each other and make the perfect two bite appetizer. You can leave it out if you want, but it really adds an extra layer of flavor, so at least try it before you decide!

I finished these with a little fresh cracked pepper, which I think rounds out the flavor nicely. You can also bake them with the cranberry sauce, but I preferred the fresher flavor that the cranberries had when I did not bake them. I baked them for 10 minutes, then took them out of the oven and spooned a little cranberry sauce in each cup.
If you use double cream it won’t melt as well, so try to use triple cream. Into each cup I placed a dollop of creamy brie – triple cream. Buying the cups already made just saves some time. If you can’t find them, you can use regular phyllo dough cut into squares and pressed into the mini muffin tin. I’m sure many of you are going to have some leftover cranberry sauce laying around after Thanksgiving, and even though Turkey Cranberry sandwiches are delicious, it’s good to have some other options for using it up.įor these simple mini tarts, I just used mini phyllo cups which are available at most grocery stores in the freezer section. This one is so simple, it only takes three ingredients! I used the leftover cranberry sauce from Friday’s post here. It is always good to have a few quick appetizers up your sleeve, either for bringing to a party or for hosting one. With the holidays coming up, I am guessing that most of you are going to be going to a few get-togethers, and maybe hosting some as well. I especially like it when a few of them together (along side a nice cheese plate) makes an impressive spread, but without working in the kitchen for hours.
Because of my love of happy hour, I have a love for easy appetizers. In fact, my husband and I are so fond of having happy hour at home that for our wedding instead of serving a large dinner we served about 20 heavy appetizers that people could pick and choose to make their meal. And by happy hour I mostly mean appetizers and drinks in any setting, it doesn’t have to be at a bar.
I ended up bringing these quick cranberry brie tarts to one of the dinners. We also had dinner with friends both Saturday AND Sunday – we were very social. It has be about five years since I ate at Paseo, and the new place did not disappoint.
After our rainy walk in the park, we finally got to check out Un Bien, the new incarnation of the famous sandwich shop Paseo. Friday night we experimented with burger recipes (those will be coming to the blog in the future!), Saturday we went to Discovery Park, which if you live in Seattle or are planning on visiting, you should make an effort to visit – it is gorgeous! I posted a few pictures on snapchat of fallen leaves that were twice the size of my hand.
