• ** Bread Tartlet Shells
• 15 Slices White Bread
• 1/2 Cup Butter

          Special equipment: 2-inch round tartlet molds.

Cooking Instructions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Make bread tartlet shells: Cut 15 slices of white bread in half.  Press each half into a 2-inch round tartlet mold and trim off the excess by pressing the bread against the edge of the mold with your fingers.  Melt 1/2 cup butter and brush generously on molded bread.  Bake 10 minutes at 400° F.  Cool, then unmold.

Prepare filling by mixing the ground sausage and mozzarella.   Add the egg, onion and green pepper, mixing thoroughly.  Fill each tartlet shell to the brim with the sausage-cheese mixture.  Bake at 400° F for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.  Serve hot, garnished with a tiny pimiento square if you wish. 
NOTE: These can be made in advance and frozen.

Makes 30.
