Kathie Lee Giffords Pecan Tarts Recipes

Steps:

• FOR THE CRUST:.
• Cream together the softened butter and cream cheese.
• Add the flour and beat well.
• Mold into mini muffin tins, muffin cups, or any little container [these are BEST when they are bite-sized].
• Refrigerate in pans overnight.
• FOR THE FILLING:.
• Beat egg well and add oil, vanilla, brown sugar, salt and pecans.
• To assemble: Put a small ball of crust mixture into each hole of a mini muffin tin and, with a wet spoon, press into the bottom and sides. Repeat.
• Then fill each shell to 2/3 full with pecan mixture.
• Bake at 350º for 25 minutes.
• Let cool.
• Note: when I feel too lazy to make little tarts, I have made this as a pie - pressing the crust into a 9 X 5 loaf pan or a 9 inch square pan -- and poured the filling in -- and it satisfies the craving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In medium bowl combine sugar, pecans, eggs, butter and vanilla.
• Spoon 1 teaspoon of mixture into each prepared tart shell.
• Bake 30 minutes or until golden brown.
• On a wire rack, cool 10 minutes; remove from pans and cool completely.
• Crust:
• In large bowl combine flour, margarine and cream cheese to form soft dough.
• Shape into 3/4 inch balls.
• Press into ungreased mini muffin pans to form tart shells.

Steps:

• Sprinkle cutlets with salt, pepper and paprika.
• Mix flour and parmesan and dust cutlets.
• Combine oil and butter in a skillet.
• Add meat.
• Sprinkle garlic salt on cutlets.
• Cook meat until no longer pink.
• Remove cutlets and keep warm.
• Add wine and lemon juice to pan; deglaze.
• Serve over cutlets; garnish with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, blend the soup, mayo, half and half, grated cheddar, lemon juice and curry powder.
• Place shredded chicken into a 13X9 glass pan that has been well-buttered.
• Place cooked and drained broccoli over the chicken.
• Pour soup mixture over the chicken and broccoli to cover.
• Sprinkle generously with the cornflake crumbs.
• Bake at 350 for 40 minutes.

• This is very filling and a little goes a long way.
