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!
