Roasted Strawberry, Brie and Chocolate Mini Tarts

These Roasted Strawberry, Brie and Chocolate Mini Tarts are super easy to make with the decadent flavors of creamy Brie, rich dark chocolate and juicy, sweet roasted strawberries!

Ingredients

  • 8 strawberries, greens removed, cut in half
  • ½ teaspoon canola oil
  • Little pinch of salt
  • 15 mini phyllo shells, found in the freezer section, such as these from Athens
  • 2 oz Brie cheese
  • 1.5 oz dark chocolate, I used Ghiradelli dark chocolate squares, 4 of them is 1.5 oz

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375. Place the strawberry halves in a bowl and drizzle with the canola oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Stir to coat the strawberries with oil. Spread the strawberries onto a baking sheet (you may want to use parchment paper underneath because the strawberries get a bit messy) and place in the oven for 18-20 minutes.
  • Cut the Brie into 15 equal pieces and do the same with the chocolate (I cut each of my four Ghiradelli square into four quarters and had a bonus quarter for my mouth!). Place one pieces of cheese and one piece of chocolate in each phyllo shell. When the strawberries are done roasting, use a spatula to transfer one onto the top of each filled shell.
  • Turn the oven heat down to 350 and place the filled shells onto a baking sheet. Put in the oven and bake for 10 minutes until cheese and chocolate are melted.
