Ingredients

12 (3 inch) frozen tart shells, thawed
1 cup brown sugar
0.33 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 large egg, beaten
2 tablespoons half-and-half

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Arrange the tart shells on a baking sheet.
In a bowl, whisk together brown sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk in the egg until the mixture is smooth, then stir in the half-and-half. Spoon the filling into the tart shells, filling each one about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven until the filling is bubbly and the pastry turns golden brown, approximately 15 minutes.
