Name: Tartelettes Au Bleu (Blue Cheese Tartlets)
Ingredients: 8 oz Tart pastry dough (I used commercial puff pastry dough); 3 oz Spinach; trimmed; 1 Egg; 2/3 c Heavy cream; 3/4 c Freshly grated Emmenthaler cheese (swiss cheese); 1/4 ts Freshly grated nutmeg; Salt and freshly gound pepper; 3 oz Roquefort cheese; crumbled; 2 tb Pine nuts

My dear children, never did I pass a more truly solemn or interesting moment than that in which my firstborn child was put into my arms and when I felt that I was a father. A new comfort was then produced in my heart which every succeeding day has tended to confirm and strengthen. I looked up to heaven and breathed over my baby the petition of Abraham for his son. “O that Ishmael might live before You.” Recognizing in the little helpless being which had been so lately introduced into our world, there was a creature born for eternity and who when the sun shall be extinguished would be still soaring in heaven or sinking in hell. I returned to my closet for private devotion and solemnly dedicated the child to the God who had given me the precious life. And I earnestly prayed that whatever might be his lot in this world, he might be a partaker of true holiness and numbered with the saints in everlasting glory.

INGREDIENTS

8	oz	Tart pastry dough (I used commercial puff pastry dough)
3	oz	Spinach; trimmed
1		Egg
2/3	c	Heavy cream
3/4	c	Freshly grated Emmenthaler cheese (swiss cheese)
1/4	ts	Freshly grated nutmeg
		Salt and freshly gound pepper
3	oz	Roquefort cheese; crumbled
2	tb	Pine nuts

INSTRUCTIONS

Prepare the dough and refrigerate for at least 3 hours. If using commercial
puff pastry, defrost in fridge or at room temp.
Preheat oven to 425. Bring a large saucepan filled with water to a boil.
Plunge spinach into water and cook for 30 seconds. Immediately drain in a
colander and rinse with cold water to halt cooking. Drain again, pressing
against the greens to force out as much water as possible. Set aside.
Break the egg into a bowl. Add the cream, swiss cheese, nutmeg and salt and
pepper to taste and beat with a fork until blended. Coursely chop the
spinach and add to the bowl (I used scissors), stir well.
On a lightly floured board, roll the dough out as thinly as possible.
Sprinkle the Roquefort evenly over the dough. With a fluted pasty cutter
about 1 1/4 inches in diameter, cut out 18 dough rounds (I used one with a
flower/petal shape). Use the rounds to line 18 individual tartlet pans or
the wells in minature muffin pans. Fill each lined pan with some of the egg
mixture and scatter a few pine nuts on top. Place in oven and bake until
the filling sets and the crust is golden, about 15 minutes. Serve warm
(they were also good cold).
