Miniature baskets with meat, seafood and vegetables look quite unusual on the holiday table. Tartlets can be used as a snack before main courses. They are prepared in two ways: first baked and then filled, or simmered together with the filling in the oven.
Homemade puff pastry tartlets without molds
Don't have molds for making tartlets? Let's try to do without them. The finished products turn out no worse. The blanks can be filled with various fillings and served as a snack.
- Yeast-free puff pastry 500 (grams)
- Chicken egg 1 (things)
- Flour for rolling out dough
-
Puff pastry tartlets can be made very easily at home. In this recipe we will use ready-made puff pastry. It must be defrosted carefully, strictly following the manufacturer's instructions indicated on the packaging. -
Sprinkle the clean surface of the work area with flour. Roll out the layer so that it is 3 millimeters thick.Then take a glass or any other round-shaped dish and cut out circles with a diameter of 4-5 centimeters (it is best to cut out the blanks by transferring the layer to a sheet of parchment). -
Now take a mold or a glass - a container with a smaller diameter - and cut holes in the center of the circles. The result should be rings. We leave half of the blanks in the form of whole circles. -
We make several punctures with a knife on whole workpieces. Drive the egg into a separate container and beat it with a whisk. Then, using a pastry brush, brush the pieces with beaten egg mixture and place the rings on top so that the edges of both halves match. Lightly press the edges together with your fingers. -
Lubricate the sides of the blanks with egg wash. The remaining “bottoms” from the rings can also be greased with egg. Preheat the oven at 200 degrees. -
Place the tartlets on a baking sheet and place in the oven. Bake the pieces for about 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Cool the tartlets on a wooden board or metal rack. Fill them with filling and serve.

Homemade puff pastry tartlets in molds
It is very convenient to use molds for making tartlets, as the resulting products are more accurate and uniform in size. Mushrooms, vegetables, nuts or meat can be used as filling for the preparations.
Cooking time – 1 hour 30 minutes.
Cooking time – 25 minutes.
Number of servings – 18.
Ingredients:
- Puff pastry without yeast – 500 gr.
- Flour - for rolling out dough.
- Beans – 200 gr.
Cooking process:
Step 1.First, let's defrost the dough according to all the rules: remove it from the refrigerator, take it out of the packaging, separate the layers so that they do not stick to each other during defrosting. Place the dough on a wooden cutting board and cover with a towel (it should be clean and dry). After 40 minutes, sprinkle the countertop with flour and begin rolling out the layers of dough.
Step 2. Using a cup (the diameter of the top of the sides is 9 centimeters), we cut out round shapes. Two layers of dough will make 12 tartlets. The scraps of dough will also make 6 tartlets.
Step 3. To ensure that the dough is well baked and does not swell, we pierce it with a fork in several places. We moisten the tartlet molds with cold purified water and place the dough inside them.
Step 4. Cut out small squares from foil and place them inside the blanks. Place beans in foil. This is necessary so that the bottom of the tartlets does not swell during baking. Turn on the oven and preheat it at a temperature of 200-220 degrees. Place the dough inside and bake for 10 minutes. Then the beans with foil will need to be removed from the preparations and baking continued without a load (10-12 minutes). We take out the baking sheet with the tartlets and remove them from the molds.
Step 5. Fill the finished tartlets with any filling, for example, a mixture of mushrooms, onions and herbs. You can also fill them with any vegetables or meat.

Tartlets made of puff pastry without yeast with filling
The filling for tartlets can be very different: vegetable, mushroom, meat. The dish is simply irreplaceable for the holiday table, as it serves as an excellent hearty snack.
Cooking time – 2 hours.
Cooking time – 50 minutes.
Number of servings – 18.
Ingredients for the dough:
- Puff pastry without yeast – 500 gr.
- Eggs – 1 pc.
- Flour - for rolling out dough.
Filling ingredients:
- Crab sticks – 4 pcs.
- Cheese – 50 gr.
- Eggs – 1 pc.
- Champignons – 100 gr.
- Onion – 1 pc.
- Mayonnaise – 2 tbsp.
- Salt - to taste.
- Vegetable oil - for frying.
- Greens - optional.
Cooking process:
Step 1. First, take the dough out of the refrigerator and defrost it according to the instructions on the package. Then sprinkle the work surface of the table with flour and roll out the dough into a thin layer. We select round molds: one with a slightly larger diameter, the other with a smaller one. Cut out circles from the dough using a larger mold. Then we leave half of the circles untouched, and cut out the core of the rest using a mold with a smaller diameter.
Step 2. Lay out a sheet of parchment paper. Place dough circles on it. Drive the egg into a separate container and beat it with a whisk. Then, using a pastry brush, brush the pieces with egg wash. We place blanks with a cut out core on top of the circles. Make sure that the edges of both layers are evenly in contact with each other.
Step 3. To prevent the dough from swelling and baking well, pierce the bottom of the tartlets with a fork. Then coat the sides of the workpieces with beaten egg. Preheat the oven at 200 degrees and place the tartlets on a baking sheet. We do not throw away the cut out bottoms. Brush them with egg and also place them on a baking sheet. Bake the pieces for 15 minutes.
Step 4. While the base for the dish is cooling, prepare the filling. To do this, first sort out the mushrooms, wash them and chop them finely. Peel the onion and also finely chop it. Pour vegetable oil into the frying pan and, after heating it on the stove, fry the mushrooms and onions.
Step 5.Boil the egg: put it in a saucepan and fill it with cold water, bring the water to a boil on the stove, and then cook the ingredient until tender for 7-10 minutes. Grate the cheese on a coarse grater and finely chop the crab sticks. Drain the hot water from the pan with the egg and fill it with cold liquid to cool.
Step 6. Then remove the shell and cut the egg. Mix all the ingredients in a deep container, salt them and season with mayonnaise.
Step 7. Fill the tartlets with filling and serve. If desired, they can be decorated with greenery.

Step 5. Scoop the filling with a teaspoon and begin filling the finished tartlets with it. Leave some free space at the top.
Step 6. Cut a piece of red fish into thin slices so that it is convenient to roll them into small rolls. Carefully place the rolls in the center of the filling.
Step 7. Wash the cucumber. Wipe it with a towel and cut into thin slices across the fruit. Then we cut the slices in half and form “petals” around the fish rolls. Choose a large dish with a flat bottom and decorate it with washed and dried lettuce leaves. Place tartlets on top of the leaves.
