Ingredients
Preparation
Using rounded 1 tsp (5 mL) for each, shape goat cheese into 18 balls. Place on waxed paper–lined plate; cover and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
On separate plate, combine basil, red pepper, salt and pepper; gently roll balls in mixture to coat, pressing onto balls. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate in airtight container for up to 2 days.)
In small bowl, mix egg yolk with 2 tsp (10 mL) water; brush onto rim of each tart shell. Arrange on rimmed baking sheet; place cheese ball in each. Bake in centre of 375°F (190°C) oven, gently flattening cheese halfway through, until melted and pastry is golden and crisp, about 30 minutes.
