Marmalade Cheese Tarts

By

Ingredients

  • 1 c. butter, softened
  • 2 c. all-purpose flour
  • 1 c. grated sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 3/4 c. orange marmalade
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten

Preparation

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine butter, flour, and cheese. Knead until well combined. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate 1 hour. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, use a floured rolling pin to roll out dough to 1/8" thickness. Cut out dough using a 2" round cookie cutter. Place about 1/2 tsp. marmalade in center of each circle of dough. Fold dough in half and seal edges by pressing with a fork. Transfer tarts to ungreased baking sheets and brush tops with egg. Bake 10-15 minutes or until tarts are set and lightly browned. Remove from pans and cool on wire racks.
