Eggplant Parmesan Tartlets
Provided by Brandpoint
• Step 1: Heat the oven to 400°F.
• Step 2: Heat the oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the eggplant and
cook for 5 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in the sauce and cook until
the mixture is hot and bubbling. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the Parmesan
cheese.
• Step 3: Sprinkle the flour on the work surface. Unfold the pastry sheet on the work
surface. Roll the pastry sheet into an 11-inch square. Cut the pastry into 9 (3 1/2-inch)
squares. Press the pastry squares into 9 muffin-pan cups. Spoon about 1/4 cup eggplant
mixture into each tartlet shell.
• Step 4: Bake for 20 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown. Remove the pan
from the oven. Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon mozzarella cheese and about 1/2 teaspoon
basil on each pastry.
