Preparation

Preheat oven to 450 °F (230 °C). Place tart shells on a rimmed baking sheet; sprinkle blue cheese and pecans evenly into shells. Set aside.

In a bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, salt and pepper. Pour evenly into shells almost to top.

Bake for about 15 min or until filling is very puffed and pastry is browned.

Top each tart with a tiny dollop of red pepper jelly.

Tips

Can be cooled, transferred to an airtight container and refrigerated for 1 day or frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw in refrigerator, if necessary, and reheat in 375 °F (190 °C) oven for about 5 min.

Very good. Fast and super simple to make.
Easy to modify too as you prep the ingredients in the tart before pouring the egg mixture. I made a few with a cranberry cheese which was great for milder taste buds.
