While the Leeks Are Simmering, Place the Chopped Onion and Minced Garlic in a Microwave-Safe Dish With the 1/2 Teaspoon of Butter and Microwave For Probably About a Minute (try 1/2 a Minute First) or Until the Onion and Garlic Have Just Softened. |

With the Olive Oil Spray, Lightly Spray 2 Mini Muffin Trays (24 Cups) and Cut Out Circles from the Pastry Sheets, Just Slightly Larger Than the Muffin Tins. |

Gently Push the Pastry Rounds Into Each Cup and Spread the Leek Mixture Evenly Between the Cups, Being Careful not to Over Fill the Cups. Then Top Each Tart With a Little Grated Tasty Cheese and Cook in the Oven For About 12 to 15 Minutes or Until the Tarts Are Golden. as Ovens Vary So Much, It's a Good Idea to Check Them After 10 Minutes. and If You Know Your Oven Is Inclined to Burn Things, Place a Piece of Kitchen Loosely on Top of the Tarts For Perhaps the First Part of the Cooking, and Perhaps Only Add the Additional Grated Cheese When You Remove the Foil. |
