Ingredients

Tartlet Shells

  • Flaky tartlet shells (ready-made or homemade) – quantity as needed for servings

Tomato Mixture

  • Fresh ripe roma or cherry tomatoes, diced – 1 cup
  • Vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) – 1 tablespoon
  • Olive oil (natural) – 1 tablespoon
  • Garlic powder (natural) – 1/4 teaspoon
  • Fresh herbs (basil, thyme, or parsley), finely chopped – 2 tablespoons

Toppings

  • Smoked turkey bacon, chopped – 4 slices
  • Plant-based cheese, shredded or sliced – 1/2 cup

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tartlet Shells: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). If using store-bought tartlet shells, arrange them on a baking tray. For homemade shells, roll out dough and press into mini tartlet pans. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden and flaky.
  2. Cook the Smoked Turkey Bacon: Chop turkey bacon into bite-sized pieces and cook in a hot pan until crispy. Remove from heat and let cool slightly to retain crunch.
  3. Assemble the Tomato Mixture: In a bowl, combine diced tomatoes with vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), olive oil (natural), garlic powder (natural), and finely chopped fresh herbs. Mix gently to coat evenly.
  4. Add Cheese and Bacon: Spoon tomato mixture into each tartlet shell. Top with a small amount of plant-based cheese followed by crispy smoked turkey bacon pieces for layered flavor.
  5. Bake Until Golden and Melty: Place filled tartlets back in the oven for 8-10 minutes until cheese melts gently and shells have a beautiful golden edge. Monitor carefully to avoid over-baking.

Notes

  • Use ripe tomatoes for the best sweetness and juiciness.
  • Do not overload tartlet shells to prevent sogginess.
  • Add fresh herbs just before baking for maximum flavor and aroma.
  • Choose quality plant-based cheese to ensure good melting and richness.
  • Cook bacon thoroughly for optimal crisp texture and savoriness.
