Curd tartlets with dried mushrooms and chicken

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 3 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   Products for making tartlets. The flour must be sifted. If you use margarine, then you do not need to add salt to the dough. If you take butter, then add 0.5 tsp for taste. salt into the dough. Before kneading the dough, pass the cottage cheese through a meat grinder for homogeneity, rub through a sieve or crush with a potato masher. Mix all the ingredients and knead the dough until smooth.

2. STEP 2

   

   We get a homogeneous, soft dough that does not stick to your hands, roll it into a ball. Wrap in cling film and put in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

3. STEP 3

   

   While the dough is resting, let's make the filling. The evening before, I baked chicken fillet in the oven with salt, ground black pepper and chicken spices (40 minutes at 200 degrees). Carefully but quickly washed the dried porcini mushrooms in cold water, then poured cold salted water over them for 4 hours. Then I cooked it in a saucepan for about 2 hours until done (check this way: shake the pan with mushrooms - if the mushrooms settle to the bottom, they are cooked).

4. STEP 4

   

   Cut the boiled mushrooms into small pieces, peeled and washed onions into small cubes.

5. STEP 5

   

   In a hot frying pan in vegetable oil, fry the onion until golden brown, add mushrooms, oregano, salt, stir, add a little mushroom broth (2-3 tbsp), simmer for a couple of minutes until the water evaporates.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place the contents of the frying pan into a bowl, cool, squeeze out the garlic, pepper to taste, and add mayonnaise (sour cream or cream). Finely grate the cheese into a separate container.

7. STEP 7

   

   Cut a piece of dough. We roll it out into a layer 0.2-0.3 cm thick. We select a stencil in the form of a circle (lid, saucer, glass) with a diameter slightly larger than the molds in which we will bake the tartlets. We cut circles of the same size according to the stencil. We repeat all steps until the dough is finished.

8. STEP 8

   

   Place a circle of dough into each mold and press it along the bottom and sides of the mold. Prick the bottom and sides of each tartlet with a fork in several places to prevent the dough from bubbling. Place the molds on a baking sheet and place in the oven. We bake tartlets at 180 degrees. until slightly browned, not forgetting that later we will put them in the oven again along with the filling.

9. STEP 9

   

   This is what the finished tartlets look like. Let them cool and carefully remove them from the molds.

10. STEP 10

    

    Fill the tartlets with filling.

11. STEP 11

    

    Sprinkle the filling with grated cheese on top. Place the baking tray with tartlets in an oven preheated to 180 degrees until the cheese melts.
