Joan Of Arc offers a variety of French and French-style cheese. These cheese are perfect for today’s busy lifestyle and shoppers who like those classic gourmet flavors. The brand offers cheeses like chevre, camembert and Roquefort. Joan Of Arc has been around since 1918.

  • You can make the caramelized onions ahead of time and freeze them for when you need them. Take them out of the freezer and let them thaw before using them in the recipe.
  • With a sharp knife, score around the edge of the puff pastry but don’t cut all the way through.

Print Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 package of puff pastry
  • 2 TBS good olive oil
  • 1 TBS butter
  • 4 yellow onions sliced thin
  • 4 cloves garlic pressed
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 1/4 tsp fresh thyme chopped
  • 3 TBS white wine
  • 4 TBS fresh grated Parmesan cheese
  • shaved Parmesan cheese for the top of the tartlets
  • 4 oz. GOAT CHEESE WITH GARLIC AND HERB I used Joan Of Arc goat cheese
  • cherry tomatoes cut in slices (I used 3 colors in my recipe)
  • fresh thyme for top of tartlets

Instructions

  • This step can be done ahead and refrigerated or frozen until needed. If freezing make sure to thaw the onions before assembling the tartlets.
  • Add olive oil and butter to a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add onions to the pan and gently cook for 20 minutes. Do not let them brown. Keep them over a low heat if the are cooking to fast and stir occasionally. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add salt, pepper, sugar and thyme and cook for 2 minutes. Add white wine and cook until the liquid evaporates. The onions should be beautifully brown and sweet.
  • To make the tartlets
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Open thawed puff pastry onto a floured surface. Cut tartlets into 2-3 inch circles or squares. Use scraps for another use. Put the tartlets on two parchment covered baking sheets.
  • Score a 1/4 inch border around the tartlets with a sharp knife (but don't cut through the puff pastry) and prick the center with a fork.
  • To assemble tartlets
  • Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on the puff pastry inside the scored line. Add the caramelized onions next. Then add a crumble of JOAN OF ARC Garlic and Herb Goat Cheese and put 3 small slices of tomatoes on top of that! Finish with a sprig of thyme.
  • At this point the tartlets can be covered and refrigerated for up to a day before baking.
  • Bake at 400 degrees, uncovered, for 20 -25 minutes until puffed and melty and golden!
  • Serve immediately!

These appetizers go fast! You might want to double the recipe!

  1. Hi Yvonne! I absolutely LOVE goat cheese. I discovered it a few years ago and have been putting it in my salads ever since with a bit of dried cranberries and a balsamic dressing – everyone loves it! I think the Goat Cheese and Carmelized Onion Mini Tartlets sound amazing and so do the Grilled Peaches, Prosciutto and Goat Cheese with Honey Mustard Glaze appetizers. Both sound so perfect for a summer get together with friends! Thanks for posting the $100 VISA gift card contest! Besides goat cheese, I absolutely LOVE your amazing blog. Your décor advice is so inspirational!

  26. I am going to try a lot of there recipes, but this one caught my attention because we have a huge fig tree at our ministry house. Figs with goat cheese sounds awesome.

These recipes have inspired me to use that my goat stuff at a brunch theme. More tomorrow.
