Cooking tips

For more delicate tartlets, use high-quality puff pastry.

Don't overdo it with mayonnaise in the filling, otherwise it will be too runny.

Use sharp knives to slice the onions and cucumbers to get neat pieces. If the filling is too runny, add a little cheese.

These tartlets can be served hot or cold – they are equally delicious either way.

Experiment with fillings: add vegetables, fish or other types of meat for a variety of flavors.

For a better taste, you can add a little lemon juice or spices to the filling.

Do not open the oven during the first few minutes of baking to allow the tartlets to rise well.
