A steaming platter of Savory Ham & Mushroom Tartlets gives you a true Fall feeling.

These little tidbits use any sliced bread rolled out and cut into rounds for your crust.

They are lower in calories & fat, as well as much less work than making tartlet shells out of pastry dough.

This recipe can be used as an appetizer or hors d’oeuvres, but you may end up eating a bunch of them for a meal because they are so good.

A winning combination of substance, but still a terrific appetizer.
