Savory Broccoli Tartlets

Directions

1. Preheat your oven according to pie crust package directions. On a lightly floured surface, spread out the pie crust and using either a round cookie cutter or small glass, cut out rounds from the dough. Line a muffin tin with paper liners. Add one round to each spot in the tin. Lightly press down on the rounds, and prick the bottom with a fork. Bake for about 10-12 minutes until the pastry is firm and lightly golden. Remove from oven and set aside.
2. Using a small saute pan, add the olive oil and cook the leek for about 5 minutes, until soft. Add the broccoli and stir fry for about 1-2 minutes, and add a bit of water. Cover and steam for about 4 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender.
3. In a separate saucepan, melt the butter and stir in the flour. Cook for a minute, constantly stirring. Slowly add the milk to make a smooth sauce. Add half the cheese and season with salt & pepper.
4. Spoon the broccoli & leek mixture into the tartlets, and spoon the sauce on top of each. Sprinkle each tartlet with the remaining cheese and bake until golden (about 10 minutes). Serve on a platter garnished with the parsley.
