Preparation

  1. Pastry

    1. Step 1

      Cream butter and cheese until well blended. Combine remaining ingredients and add gradually until well mixed. Form dough into ball, refrigerate wrapped in plastic about 30 minutes.

    2. Step 2

      Using diluted tart pans that are three-quarter inch across the bottom and two inches across the top, fill each pan, pressing approximately one teaspoon of dough into each.

    3. Step 3

      Place pans on cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 7 to 10 minutes or until golden. Remove from cookie sheets, invert on wire rack and cool slightly. Tap lightly on bottom to release tarts.

  2. Filling

    1. Step 4

      Place all of the ingredients except garnishes in food processor with steel blade and process until smooth.

    2. Step 5

      To make ahead, store mixture in refrigerator. It will become hard, but can be restored to original texture by processing.

  3. Step 6

    To Serve: For 10 servings, fill 10 tarts. Slice radishes and then julienne finely. Serve each tart with one julienned radish and a sprig of watercress.

Tip
  • These are very fragile, so the recipe allows for more tarts than are needed. If there is remaining dough, freeze for other uses. The tarts can be filled a day ahead and refrigerated. Allow to sit at room temperature 15 minutes before serving.
