Nada’s Tips & Tricks: I used the small frozen tart shells; white balsamic vinegar and walnut pieces. Instead of stirring the walnuts into the mixture, I dropped them into the bottom of the tart shells and then covered them with the filling mix – helped keep the number of nuts in each tart proportional. Watch your oven for both the temperature and time – I turned the oven down from the 450F after 5 minutes and baked for only another 15 minutes and they were already getting too dark.
