General principles for making tartlets
Tartlets are small “baskets” of unleavened dough or wafers that are designed to be filled with both sweet and savory fillings. One of the most popular among them is the combination of cheese and garlic. The appetizer in question is prepared quickly and simply.

- You can add additional ingredients to the filling - pieces of fresh/pickled vegetables, fruits, mushrooms, seafood, herbs;
- All that remains is to mix it thoroughly, use sauce and salt if desired, and then arrange it among the tartlets.
You can simply sprinkle the appetizer with fresh herbs or take care of a more complex decoration for it.
