Mini pizza tarts
November 5, 2010 § 17 Comments
Half of my CSN order came in this week, so I tested out some of my new tools. Since I’ve been making too many sweet, buttery tarts these days, I decided to make something savoury and somewhat healthy, or less fatty I should say… So, this is a mini pizza tart, with the inspiration being a Chicago deep-dish style pizza.
Instead of the butter-heavy tart dough, I used a multigrain pancake mix to whip up a biscuit dough as the base.
I then added a layer of homemade bruschetta and topped it all off w. shredded mozzarella and finely chopped mushrooms.
I know I’ve been a bit lax with the posting. I’ve been making tons of stuff, but have just fallen out of the habit of photographing and chatting up the ideas. I just have my head in other things at the moment, and am hoping to be back at it soon.
these look FABULOUS ! I love bruschetta, I love tarts, I love everything about this!

HAPPY WEEKEND !
Spabettie, you are awesome!!! Thanks for stopping by and being so encouraging all the time =)
Hope your weekend brings many excellent meals! Cheers.
You just convinced me to buy tart pans! 🙂
They’re well worth it!
I got my tart pans, btw, so I’m ready to start tartin’!
Great! I can’t wait to see what you come up with. I think the tart dough I posted earlier would be easily veganized by using Earth Balance. Then it’s all free sailing. Anything goes with tarts. I hope you love them as much as I do!
These look absolutely wonderful, and I love your photos. I look forward to following your blog and getting more great cooking ideas!
Thanks for stopping by!
How lovely !! How healthy !! AND I love the photos !!
I guess it is fairly healthy. I would stuff in more veggies if my baby tart pans could handle it. I may have to go with a thinner layer of shell next time.
what a cute and delicious idea! I love it!
Thanks! They were tasty, but I’m partial to pizza =)

These look delicious! I love the layer of bruschetta on the bottom. Sounds great.
The individual tarts are so much fun!
Yes, I love the mini tarts. I have a lot of grape tomatoes so I will have to try your garlic tart this week!
