These warm bite-sized appetizers are seriously one of the best out there. I owe all of this to my aunt’s mother-in-law who started making these delicious “tarts” years ago. Since our family first tried these, they have popped up at almost every family function. They are creamy, spicy, and savory…and just plain easy to make.
I promise you will not be disappointed with this one! I served this at the Stock the Bar party a few weeks ago, and they were a hit.
Also, you could easily use this spread on large loaves of french bread or even on a sandwich with some ham and/or salami. Delicious.
Recipe: Curried Moroccan Tarts
6 English Muffins
2 cups chopped, pitted, ripe olives
2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
3 green scallions, chopped
3⁄4 tsp. curry powder
1 tsp. garlic powder
1⁄2 to 1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 cup mayo (I used Duke’s)
salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
Separate the muffin halves and set aside.
Combine all remaining ingredients, mixing well. Pile spread on muffin halves. Cut each muffin into 6 pieces, as you would a pie. Use a pizza cutter; trust me.
Line the pieces on a cookie sheet, and bake for 15-20 minutes at 375 degrees or until bubbly.
**you can also assemble these days in advance and freeze. Same cooking instructions.
