1/2 c Shredded Swiss cheese

For crust, spray twenty-four 1 3/4 inch muffin cups with nonstick
spray coating. Sprinkle bread crumbs or crushed zwieback onto bottom

till combined. Do not overbeat.

Fill each crumb-lined muffin cup with 1 tablespoon of the cheese

appear set. (Tarts will puff during baking, then deflate as they
cool.) Cool in pans on wire racks for 10 minutes. Remove from pans.
Cool thoroughly on wire racks.

To serve, spread tops with sour cream. Garnish with olives, caviar,
chives, and/or red pepper and olive cut-outs. Makes 24 tarts.
