Step-by-step recipe for meat tartlets with filling
Here the technology really consists of 3 stages: first you need to bake the meat baskets, then fill them with filling and bake again. At first glance, the preparation seems quite troublesome, but everything is done very quickly, and it’s worth it.
Bake meat baskets
- Turn on the oven to preheat to 180°C.
- Place 2 chicken breasts, 2 medium onions, 3 cloves of garlic into a blender bowl and blend until smooth. Place the minced meat in a bowl, add 2 pinches of freshly ground (or packaged) black pepper and salt.
- Finely grate 2 raw potatoes and add to the minced meat. Mix well and beat, scooping it up and throwing it back into the bowl with force. Beaten minced meat holds its shape better during heat treatment (this applies to all minced meat products).
- Place the mince mixture into 20 muffin tins and smooth the sides and bottom.
- Bake for 10 minutes. After removing the baked baskets from the oven, do not remove them from the baking sheet or remove them from the molds; you will fill them with the filling directly into them.
Prepare the filling
- Put the frying pan on to heat up. Pour 2 tbsp into it. l. vegetable oil.
- Cut 1 onion into medium cubes and sauté.
- Cut 400-450 g of champignons into medium cubes and add to sauté. Sauté for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- At the end of cooking the mushrooms, add 1 pinch of freshly ground (or packaged) black pepper and salt, stir and simmer for 2 minutes.
Bring the products to readiness
- Fill the baskets with mushroom filling.
- Finely grate 100g of hard cheese and sprinkle generously over each tartlet. Bake at the same temperature for 10 minutes (until the cheese is browned).
- Place on a platter or tray and serve immediately.

From the video you will learn how to properly fill the molds with minced meat, then with the filling, and to what condition to bake the products.
Simple microwave recipe
Cooking tartlets in the microwave is very easy, especially if you take care in advance and make the filling the day before. On the day of the celebration, it will be enough to simply fill the ready-made shortbread baskets and quickly melt the cheese.
It’s easy to simplify the recipe if you replace hard cheese with processed cheese: buy ready-made delicious cheese in a box and instead of sauce, season chicken with mushrooms with it.
For the dish prepare:
- chicken thigh;
- mushrooms – 100 g;
- onion;
- processed cheese;
- any spices to taste.
Fry the mushrooms, chicken and onions until the juices release: do not make the filling too dry, otherwise it will lose its taste. Mix everything with cheese to form a viscous mass. Divide the resulting mixture into tartlets and then bake for a few minutes in the microwave. Place the finished appetizer on a platter and serve it on the table.
How to serve tartlets festively
Your products already look appetizing, but you have a holiday, which means the presentation should be festive.
- Contrasting decorations will be sprigs of young greenery, onion feathers, fresh or pickled red bell pepper, cucumber, zucchini or squash. But it’s better to boil carrots or use canned ones. Boiled beets will also do, but there shouldn’t be a lot of it – literally the size of a pea: it can change the taste of the dish for the worse.
- If you want to decorate with onion rings, you will have to marinate them first . To do this, you need to boil water with vinegar in a ratio of 4 x 1, sweeten and salt to taste, and pour onion rings for 30-60 minutes. After this treatment, it will lose its sharp taste and give the dish freshness.
- Miniature roses made from untwisted and re-twisted crab sticks would look good on such appetizers.
- Before decorating the products, you can sprinkle them with boiled yolk, ground nuts, and dried sesame seeds.
- Sails on skewers made of thinly sliced hard cheese or lettuce will look beautiful.
- Rings of black olives or green olives , miniature capers, and pickled red berries will contrast perfectly with the baked cheese.
- The combined buffet appetizer also looks original: stick a vegetable or meat mini-kebab on a toothpick into each item.
- On a tray under cold tartlets, you can lay lettuce, Chinese cabbage , and fan out green onions. But you shouldn’t make such a bedding for hot products: the temperature will quickly cause the greens to lose their “marketable appearance.” It is better to place them directly on the dishes.
