Smoked Salmon and Leek Tartlets
- 2 12 teaspoons unsalted butter, 1 1/2 teaspoons melted
- 1 12 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 sheets phyllo dough, plus more in case of tearing
- 3 large leeks, white and tender green, thinly sliced
- salt & freshly ground black pepper
- 2 ounces thinly sliced smoked salmon, cut into twenty-four 1-inch-square pieces
- Preheat the oven to 375.
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and olive oil.
- Lightly brush two 12-cup mini-muffin tins with a little of the butter-oil mixture.
- Lay a sheet of phyllo dough on a work surface and brush lightly with a little of the butter-oil mixture.
- Top with the remaining 2 sheets of phyllo brushed with the butter-oil mixture.
- Using a 2 1/4 -inch round biscuit cutter, cut out 24 phyllo rounds.
- Press the rounds, buttered side up, into the muffin cups.
- Bake for about 4 minutes, or until golden and crisp; don't let the phyllo burn.
- Let the phyllo cups cool slightly, then carefully transfer to a rack to cool completely.
- Melt the remaining 1 teaspoon of butter in a large skillet.
- Add the leeks and a large pinch of salt and pepper.
- Cook over moderate heat, stirring, until tender but still slightly green, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Just before serving, spoon the sauteed leeks into the phyllo cups.
- Top each cup with a piece of smoked salmon and serve immediately.
