I developed this recipe as a way to entice my husband to eat spinach. When I first made the tarts for Christmas, they disappeared within minutes. Guests were surprised when I told them the key ingredient!Kimberly Carr, Akron, Ohio Ingredients:
1/2 pound sliced bacon, diced |
2/3 cup chopped sweet onion |
1 garlic clove, minced |

1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke, optional |
1 package (1.9 ounces) frozen miniature phyllo tart shells |
2/3 cup shredded swiss cheese |
