How To Make easy phyllo pastry tarts with hot pepper jelly

• 1

  Take 2 sheets of pastry and cover the rest with a damp cloth to keep from drying out.
• 2

  Brush a thin layer of butter on one sheet and stack the other sheet on top. Cut the stacked sheet in half length wise. You will now have two long rectangles.
• 3

  (A pizza cutter works great for this) Brush one rectangle with butter and place the other one on top. You will then have a 7 x 11 pastry sheet with four layers.
• 4

  Cut that into 12 equal squares. Press each square into a greased mini muffin tin.
• 5

  Bake at 350 degrees until golden brown, about 10-15 minutes. Repeat with remaining sheets, remembering to keep unused sheets covered. Shells may be frozen at this point or filled and ready to serve.

  To fill: Place 1/2- 1 teaspoon of cream cheese in the center of each tart. Top with 1/2 to 1 tsp of jelly. May be served as is or baked for 10 minutes and served warm.
