Cheese and Pesto Mini Cups

Mom and I were sitting at home on a Sunday morning when we suddenly decided to make these cheese cups for breakfast! Yes it was quite a crazy idea but we both got up and were so excited about our devious plan to greedily guzzle calories first thing in the morning that the plan became our morning's agenda. We bunched up some of the most delicious ingredients, put them all together and created a wonderful new recipe which I think would be an awesome party canape as well.

You get these ready mini cups that are crunchy and cute little mini tartlets that you can buy anywhere around the world and in your local markets. I very easily popped around 8 - 10 of them, but then again I'm really greedy. I think 4 tartlets per person is a good estimate for normal people.

Ingredients: for 24 tartlets
24 Tartlets
250gm Mozzarella Cheese
120gm Feta Cheese
200gm American sweet corn kernels, boiled


120gm Pesto

A bit of Red and Yellow Peppers and Olives chopped fine for decoration

You will need an oven pre-heated at 180 degrees before you start assembling

Method:
Take all the tartlets and place them in your baking tray
put a little bit each of mozzarella, feta, pesto and corn in the tartlets and toss it in the oven for 5 - 10 minutes or until the cheeses have melted
Take out of the oven and top with the peppers and serve!
