Method
1
Prepare the grape salsa by combining halved seedless red grapes, coarse salt, chopped scallion greens, balsamic vinegar, walnut oil, fresh rosemary, minced garlic, and freshly ground pepper in a small bowl. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
2
Remove the rind from the Brie and cut the cheese into small cubes or thin slices, using approximately 1/6 ounce per tartlet shell.
3
Toast the chopped walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3–4 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly golden. Transfer to a plate to cool.
4
Place the miniature savory pastry shells on a serving platter or work surface. If the shells are not pre-baked, bake them according to package directions and let cool slightly before filling.
5
Divide the Brie pieces evenly among the 48 pastry shells, placing a piece in the bottom of each shell.
6
Spoon approximately 1/2 teaspoon of the grape salsa mixture into each filled tartlet shell, distributing the liquid and solids evenly.
7
Top each tartlet with a small pinch of the toasted walnuts, using about 1/2 teaspoon per shell.
8
Serve the assembled tartlets immediately on a chilled platter to keep the Brie cool and the pastry shells crisp.
