Time 20m

Yield 24 tartlets

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 stick (2 ounces) unsalted butter
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 egg yolk
1/2 cup sour cream
8 tablespoons salmon caviar
2 tablespoons minced chives

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • To make the dough, place the flour, butter, sugar and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Process for about 10 to 15 seconds. Add the egg yolk and 2 tablespoons of water. Process for another 10 seconds just until the mixture pulls away from the sides and begins to form a ball.
  • Place the dough between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and roll it out to a thickness of about 1/8 inch. Cut with a 2-inch circular cookie cutter. Press the circles of dough into 24 small, round or oval tartlet shells. Arrange on a cookie sheet and bake for 10 to 12 minutes until nicely browned. Remove from the molds.
  • To make the filling, place 1 teaspoon of the sour cream in each tartlet shell. Top each with 1 teaspoon of the caviar. Sprinkle with the chives and serve immediately.
