Very often I cook such a snack. Sometimes I add boiled rice to the filling so that it is more satisfying. Sometimes canned fish, such as sardine in oil. The basic version of the filling is also presented here. Cheese can be replaced with processed cheese. Other ingredients may be added to the cheese paste to alter or enhance the flavor. The flesh of tomatoes will taste very well here - the snack will become juicier and brighter in appearance.

How to make tartlets? Prepare all the ingredients. Tartlets can take any size you need from puff or shortbread. I have them small, sandy. You can buy them or bake them yourself. Boil and chill the chicken eggs. Mayonnaise take home.

Grate the cheese on a medium grater. And transfer it immediately to a salad bowl, in which you will later mix the mass.

Peel the boiled eggs. And grate them on a medium grater, adding them to the cheese.

Run the peeled garlic through the press.

In a salad bowl, combine the grated eggs, cheese and garlic.

Salt the mass, pepper and season with mayonnaise. Be careful with salt, however! Mayonnaise is salty on its own, so salt may not be needed - taste the salad.

Mix the salad well until smooth. If the mass is dry, add more mayonnaise.

Fill the tartlets with egg cheese mass. Decorate them as desired. I decorated with pieces of red bell pepper and leaves of basil.

Mayonnaise is better to cook on its own. It will be tastier and healthier. See here interesting recipes for homemade mayonnaise. Also, not only mayonnaise, but also sour cream or natural yogurt can be used as a dressing. They can be taken separately or mixed with mayonnaise in any proportion to your taste - this will reduce the calorie content of the dish.

How do I know if an egg is fresh? Break it into a separate container. First of all, there should be no unpleasant smell. The protein of fresh eggs will be clear and pure. The yolk should not spread and will be shiny, convex, uniform.
