I tried this mini tart recipe from Martha Stewart and I have to be honest....I did not like it. My husband liked it, but I felt the crust overpowered the fruit filling. (I also felt technique wise I should have rolled out the pie crust slightly thinner in order to have a flakier more delicate crust and also that could have helped the whole crust to fruit filling ratio.) Anyways this is definitely a case of eating with your eyes as I thought they looked better then they tasted. But this is what cooking/baking is all about....learning, right?

A heaping teaspoon of filling and egg washed edges....I wouldn't do the egg wash next time either as I felt it tasted too "eggy" or I would use egg whites instead of yolks and cream |
