Ingredients

2 cups Krusteaz Pie Crust mix
6 Tbsp water
2-3 cups mixed vegetables diced into small pieces (I used several varieties of peppers, as well as onions and mushrooms)
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp minced garlic
1 tsp salt
1 cup shredded cheese I used Colby

Instructions

Prep: Start by spraying a standard muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray, set aside. Also, get the oven preheating to 450 degrees F.
Tart crust: Next, in a large bowl, combine and mix the water with the pie crust mix and stir until well combined. Then, pull off enough dough to form about a 1 1/2 inch circle and then press the circle into the greased muffin pan, pressing up on the sides to form a mini pie crust. Proceed to repeat this until the muffin pan is full (mine made exactly 12 little crusts).
Place the crusts in the preheated oven and bake for about 7 minutes, if they start to brown, take them out. After the crusts are done baking, turn the oven temperature down to 350 degrees F.
Veggie mixture: While the crusts are baking, prepare the vegetables. Wash and dry them, then chop them into small pieces.
Then, in a pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat for a couple of minutes before adding the vegetables, salt and garlic. I sautéed the peppers and onions for about 6-7 minutes before adding the mushrooms and garlic. Then I sautéed all of the veggies for a few more minutes, until the veggies were tender. Next, place a little bit of cheese in the bottom of each tart crust and then scoop some of the veggies on top until the crust is filled. Then sprinkle a little more cheese on top of the veggies.
Bake: Place the tarts back in the oven and bake for about 8 minutes or until the cheese has fully melted. Serve these veggie tarts immediately and enjoy!
