INGREDIENTS
For the shortcrust pastry:
80g butter
40g (1/2 cup) Parmesan cheese
30g (1/4 cup) almond flour
125g (1 cup) all-purpose flour
A pinch of salt
1 egg
For the smoked salmon filling:
80g (1/3 cup) cream cheese
55g smoked salmon
For the mortadella filling:

3 slices of mortadella
For the pesto filling:

1 tbsp pesto
For decoration:

METHOD
1. In a large bowl, combine the butter, Parmesan cheese, almond flour, all-purpose flour, and a pinch of salt. Work the mixture with your hands until it becomes crumbly.
2. Add the egg and knead quickly until a smooth dough forms. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
3. Roll out the dough to about 3 mm thickness. Cut out circles with a round cutter and place them into molds. Prick the bottoms with a fork.
4. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C/360°F for about 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Let the tartlet shells cool completely.
5. For the smoked salmon filling: blend the cream cheese and smoked salmon until smooth.
6. For the mortadella filling: blend the cream cheese and mortadella until smooth.
7. For the pesto filling: in a small bowl, mix the cream cheese and pesto until well combined.
8. Transfer the fillings to piping bags and fill the cooled tartlet shells.
9. Decorate: top the pesto tartlets with cherry tomatoes, the smoked salmon tartlets with parsley, and the mortadella tartlets with black olives. Serve and enjoy.
