Preparation (9 steps)

Prepare puff pastry and line molds

Unroll the puff pastry. Grease four tartlet molds (8-10 cm diameter) with fat. Cut out four dough circles that are approx. 2 cm larger than the molds. Line the molds with the dough and prick the dough several times with a fork. No Thermomix setting required.

Prepare bacon

Cut 100 g bacon into small cubes. No Thermomix setting required.

Prepare cheese

Remove the rind from 200 g raclette cheese and cut it so that the bottoms of the molds can be lined with cheese. Distribute ¼ of the bacon cubes on top and cut the remaining cheese and distribute it on the bacon. No Thermomix setting required.

Prepare puff pastry lids

Cut out lids for the molds from the remaining dough. Use a cookie cutter to cut out 4 small stars or fir trees each. No Thermomix setting required.

Complete tartlets

Whisk 2 egg yolks and brush the puff pastry edges with them. Place the lid on top and press firmly on the edges. Prick the dough in a star shape with a fork. Brush with egg yolk and place stars in the middle. Press down lightly and also brush with egg yolk. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of caraway. No Thermomix setting required.
