Shopping List for Apricot Pepper Jack Mini-Tarts
- A can of garlic crescent rolls. If you can find the seamless kind, even better
- A block of pepper jack cheese
- A Jar of apricot preserves
- Pecans
Another item you’ll need to make the recipe, is a mini muffin tin. And although, not necessary, a little tart press is quite handy whenever you want to make crusts for tarts. I use mine often.
These tarts are a perfect fit for holiday gatherings, where you’ll be serving finger foods. It also works for an item on a cheese tray or for a wine tasting party. Or even a brunch or buffet.
The combination of sweet apricots and the spicy pepper jack cheese is marvelous. Add in the garlic flavor of the crust and it is truly delightful. You’ll have a hard time eating just one. So, it’s good that this recipe makes 24 tarts!
