Miniature Hors d’oeuvres Crust for Dips aka Tart Shells

These are wonderful tiny crust to put your favorite sweet or salty filling in. This crust is so versatile that you can fill them with your favorite shrimp or crab dips or fill with fig preserves or pecan pie filling. Hors d’oeuvres would be much more popular if they weren’t so hard to spell and pronounce.

Step 1

In a medium glass bowl, mix the cream cheese, butter and flour. Chill for 30 minutes.

Roll into walnut size balls.

Step 3

Using a 24 miniature muffin pan, press and shape the dough balls into miniature pie crust.

Step 4

Bake 325 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes or until light golden brown.

Step 5

Cool. Serve on a platter next to the dip of your choice and let your guest fill these tasty treats.
