Gorgonzola, Date and Walnut Tartlets

Prep Time

Cook Time

10 mins

Total Time

1 hr

 

Course: Dessert

Servings: 24 tartlets

Ingredients

Dough:

• 1 package (7.5 oz) Chebe All-Purpose or Original Cheese Bread Mix
• 2 Tbsp sugar
• 1 egg, large
• 4 Tbsp milk (water if using Original Mix)
• ¼ cup melted butter

Filling:

• ½ cup walnuts, chopped (about 2 oz)
• 6 oz dates, pitted and chopped (about 4 )
• 1 oz brown sugar
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• ¼ cup Gorgonzola cheese crumbled (blue, goat or feta cheeses also work)
• Honey for drizzling

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425F

2. In a bowl, stir together the Chebe mix, and sugar. Continue blending in the egg, milk and butter. Mix it well. Knead it with your hands until the dough is smooth. (Add a tsp of milk if it feels too dry.) This makes about 14 oz of dough.

3. Separate the dough into 24 equal pieces. (If you have a scale, each dough piece will weigh about 0.6 oz, or 16 g.) Drop each piece into the cups of an un-greased mini muffin baking tin.

4. With your fingers, press the dough into the muffin cups. Be sure the dough covers the entire cup, even exceeding the top a little.

5. With the tines of a fork, poke holes in the base of the cups to prevent the dough from puffing.

6. Fill each cup with walnuts, dates, and brown sugar. Sprinkle with cinnamon and top with a few crumbles of cheese. The cups should be filled just over the tops.
7. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove the tartlets from the tin and drizzle with honey. Serve warm.
