Delightfully savory and creamy, these Gorgonzola Walnut Tartlets combine the rich flavor of crumbled Gorgonzola cheese with crunchy walnut pieces, all nestled in crisp mini phyllo tart shells. Enhanced with fresh chives and a hint of black pepper, these tartlets make for an elegant appetizer or party bite that’s quick to assemble and sure to impress.

Ingredients

Filling

  • 1 cup Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
  • 1 1/4 cups sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh chives, plus more for garnish
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Topping and Shells

  • 1/3 cup walnut pieces
  • 30 mini phyllo tart shells (2 boxes)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the crumbled Gorgonzola cheese, sour cream, minced fresh chives, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth yet slightly chunky.
  2. Fill the tart shells: Using a small spoon, carefully fill each mini phyllo tart shell with the Gorgonzola and sour cream mixture, dividing it evenly among the 30 shells.
  3. Add walnut topping: Sprinkle walnut pieces on top of each filled tartlet, ensuring every tart has a good amount of crunchy texture.
  4. Garnish and serve: Lightly garnish each tartlet with additional minced fresh chives for color and extra flavor. Serve immediately or chill briefly in the refrigerator before serving for a refreshing appetizer.

Notes

  • For best flavor, use fresh walnuts and toast them lightly in a pan before topping for extra crunch.
  • Mini phyllo tart shells are often found frozen; thaw as per package instructions before filling.
  • If Gorgonzola is too strong for your taste, substitute with another blue cheese or creamy goat cheese.
  • These tartlets can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 2 hours before serving.
  • Handle phyllo shells gently to avoid breaking, as they are delicate and crisp.
