WATERCRESS & CHEESE TARTLETS
These delicious individual tartlets are great for lunch or a picnic. Source of recipe: Creative Cooking Vegetarian. The cookbook I found this recipe in said it makes 4 tarts. I've made this using miniature frozen tart shells as a short cut and got 18 tiny tartlets. I also used only 1 bunch of watercress as it was quite a large bunch.
