How is it that these little cheese tartlets can be How is it that these little cheese tartlets can be at once elegant and rustic? We had them with mimosas for our Easter meal and they got rave reviews! Fontina and Gouda were the cheeses of choice, but you could totally change that up however you want. We took a shortcut by using those pie crusts you find in the dairy section of your grocery, rolled them out and cut circles with a biscuit cutter. How easy is that? Comment with a 🧀 and we'll link you to the recipe or Google "Biscuits and Burlap Cheese Tartlets"

And we're thinking we should all pause for a moment and recognize Amelia Simmons from back in 1796. I bet she never dreamed what a sensation she was giving the world.
