Steps:
- to make the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, salt, and butter. Using two forks or a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour until the butter resembles oat flakes or tiny peas. Add the egg and use a fork to combine the flour mixture with the egg. Dump the mixture out onto a floured surface. Work the dough until it starts to hold together. The dough is a little tougher than your average when working with it, don't be alarmed. If you're making individual tarts roll the dough out, place the individual tart pans on the dough and cut a circle 11/2 - 2 inches larger than your pan, rework leftover dough as necessary to form more tarts. If you're using a 9-inch tart pan, roll the dough out into a 12-inch circle. Place the dough at the base of the pan, work out any air bubbles, crimp edges. Refrigerate the tart-shell(s) for 10 minutes while you prepare the tart filling.
- For the tart filling: Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.In a medium bowl, combine the egg, heavy cream, milk, 4 tablespoons of parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, basil, salt, and pepper and whisk until combined. Fold in the goat cheese. Divide filling into tartshell(s). Top with the remaining 2 tablespoons of parmesan cheese. Place the tart pan(s) on a baking tray and bake for 24 - 27 minutes for individual tarts and 30 - 35 minutes for large tart. For a darker crust, bake an additional 1-2 minutes. Let cool 10 - 15 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Unroll 1 pie dough into a round. Arrange three 4 1/4-inch nonstick tartlet pans on the dough and use a paring knife to cut a circle of dough around each that is about 1/2 inch larger than the pan; these don't have to be perfect, but you want to make sure you cut enough excess dough to fill the pan and up the sides. Press the dough evenly into each pan; if any excess dough goes over the top, simply use the top edge of the tartlet pan to cut it away. Use a fork to dock the bottom of the pie crusts. Repeat this process with 3 more tartlet pans and the remaining pie dough. Place the 6 tartlet pans on a baking sheet and put in the freezer for 10 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, toss together the cherry tomatoes, garlic, salt and pepper. Let the tomatoes sit for 10 to 15 minutes for the flavors to combine.
- Bake the crusts until the dough is cooked part of the way through without any color and bubbles form on the bottom and sides, about 6 minutes. Let cool slightly.
- To each tartlet, add about 3 tablespoons of grated Cheddar and spread evenly over the bottom. Top the cheese in each with 8 tomato halves cut-side up, making sure to get some garlic with each tomato. Bake until the crusts are golden brown, the cheese is bubbling and the tomatoes are softened but have not burst, about 30 minutes. Let cool until cool enough to handle, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the tartlets from the tart pans and garnish with small basil leaves.
- These tartlets can be stored in the refrigerator after they have cooled completely and reheated in the oven the next day for great leftovers!

TOMATO BASIL TARTLETS
These are such great little appetizers, especially with fresh tomatoes and basil in season right now. The recipe calls for fontina cheese, but I have used freshly grated parmesan with good results as well. The trick of laying another baking sheet over the dough while they bake really makes them crisp. This is adapted from Food Network, hope you enjoy.
