Mini Tart Shells

Store in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain crispness. Freezing is recommended for longer storage.

Gently warm shells in a low oven (around 300°F / 150°C) for a few minutes to re-crisp them before filling.

Fill just before serving to prevent the shells from becoming soggy.

Experiment with both sweet fillings like custards and fruits, and savory options such as quiches or cream cheese mixtures.

Overfilling the shells, which can cause ingredients to spill out.

Filling them too far in advance, leading to a soggy bottom.

Heating them at too high a temperature, which can burn the edges.
