How to Make Mini Blue Cheese Tartlets

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake tart shells according to package directions. Do not over-bake; remove when lightly golden.

Finely snip 1 cup of broccoli florets using kitchen shears.
In a food processor or bowl, combine 1/2 cup sour cream (or 1 cup 2% cottage cheese) and 4 ounces crumbled blue cheese. Mix until smooth.
Gently stir in the snipped broccoli.
Refrigerate the filling for at least 15 minutes, or longer if preparing ahead.
Fill each tart shell with about 1 teaspoon of the blue cheese mixture. Do not overfill.
