Préparation

Clean the work surface with Cascades TuffTM paper towels and a cleaning product.
Heat the olive oil in a pot and sauté the onion, garlic, ground meat and cranberries until they are fully cooked.
Add the nutmeg and savory. Let cool. Season with salt and pepper.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface and then cut out 12 circles large enough to line the moulds and 12 more smaller circles to cover the tops.
Press each large circle of dough into the buttered moulds.
Moisten the edges, add filling to each mould, and cover with the small circles of dough. Pinch the two pieces of dough together to create a seal.
Beat the egg yolk and brush over top of each mini-tourtière.
Bake at 350°F for 30 to 45 minutes, until the crust is golden brown.
Gather the family together and tie Christmas-coloured ribbons around your mini-tourtières!
