Ingredients

  • 1 pre-made pie crust (the kind that comes chilled/rolled) or home made
  • 2 teaspoons minced sundried tomato (the kind packed in oil works well)
  • 1 fresh jalapeno that has been minced and seeded
  • 3 thinly sliced scallions
  • 4 pieces of cooked bacon that have been crumbled
  • 6 medium sized shrimp that have been grilled and cut into thirds (grill on grill pan if you don't have an outside grill)
  • 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 dash your favorite hot sauce

Method

  • preheat oven to 400 deg.
  • Spray a non-stick baking sheet with a light coat of canola oil
  • Place pie crust in center of baking sheet and spread the shredded cheese to an even layer --leave a 1 1/4 inch border so you can roll the edge later.
  • Sprinkle the jalapeno and tomato over cheese.
  • Sprinkle crumbled bacon on top.
  • Fold up the enges of crust one section at a time. Each section folds over and presses into the next to form a rustic rounded and pleated edge.
  • Bake the tart at 400 deg. for 12 to 15 minutes (every oven is different). The endges should look golden brown.
  • Mix the sour cream, cumin and hot sauce together and place in a squeeze bottle if you have one.
  • Slide the tart off the baking sheet onto a cutting board. Add the shrimp.
  • Drizzle or squeeze the sour cream mixture heavily onto the tart in a wagon wheel or star pattern. Sprinkle scallions on top.
  • Cut the tart with a pizza wheel and serve!
