Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- For the crust, put the flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Cut 12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) of the butter into large dice, add to the bowl, and pulse until the butter is the size of peas. With the machine running, add the ice water all at once and process until the dough becomes crumbly. Don't overprocess. Dump the dough out on a floured board, gather it loosely into a ball, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Roll the dough on a well-floured board and fit it into a 9-inch tart pan with a removable sides, rolling the pin over the top to cut off the excess dough. Butter 1 side of a square of aluminum foil and fit it, butter side down, into the tart pan. Fill the foil with rice or beans. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove the beans and foil from the tart shell, prick the bottom all over with a fork, and bake for another 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining tablespoon of butter in a small pan and saute the shallots over low heat for 5 minutes, or until tender. Place the goat cheese in the bowl of the food processor and process until crumbly. Add the cream, eggs, basil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and the pepper and process until blended.
- Scatter the cooked shallots over the bottom of the tart shell. Pour the goat cheese mixture over the shallots to fill the shell (if the shell has shrunk, there may be leftover filling). Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until the tart is firm when shaken and the top is lightly browned. Allow to cool for 10 minutes and serve hot or at room temperature.

Steps:
- Unfold a sheet of puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and roll it lightly to an 11 by 11-inch square. Using a 6-inch wide saucer or other round object as a guide, cut 2 circles from the sheet of puff pastry, discarding the scraps. Repeat with the second pastry sheet to make 4 circles in all. Place the pastry circles on 2 sheet pans lined with parchment paper and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium to low heat and add the onions and garlic. Saute for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions are limp and there is almost no moisture remaining in the skillet. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, the wine, and thyme and continue to cook for another 10 minutes, until the onions are lightly browned. Remove from the heat.
- Using a sharp paring knife, score a 1/4-inch-wide border around each pastry circle. Prick the pastry inside the score lines with the tines of a fork and sprinkle a tablespoon of grated Parmesan on each round, staying inside the scored border.
- Place 1/4 of the onion mixture on each circle, again staying within the scored edge. Crumble 1 ounce of goat cheese on top of the onions. Place a slice of tomato in the center of each tart. Brush the tomato lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with basil, salt, and pepper. Finally, scatter 4 or 5 shards of Parmesan on each tart.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown. The bottom sheet pan may need an extra few minutes in the oven. Serve hot or warm.

Yield Makes two 10-inch tarts
Number Of Ingredients 10
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees with a pizza stone on the center rack. In a large saute pan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Add the onion, and cook until soft and golden, about 10 to 12 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough 1/2 inch thick and 10 inches in diameter. Evenly scatter butter over dough. Sprinkle with herbs. Fold dough into thirds, like a business letter. Roll out dough again, and repeat folding process. Set dough aside, and let rest until no longer elastic, 30 to 45 minutes.
- Divide dough in half. Working with one piece of dough, roll into a 10-inch round, about 1/4 inch thick. Place on pizza peel, and fold over 1 inch of the dough around the edges, forming an edge all the way around. Drizzle with 2 teaspoons olive oil, and spread with 1/4 cup black-olive paste. Add 1/2 cup onions in an even layer, and scatter with 1/3 cup olives and 1/3 cup goat cheese. Season with pepper. Place 3 to 4 anchovies on the top of the tart. Transfer tart to oven, and bake on pizza stone until crisp and golden brown and the goat cheese is slightly browned, about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from oven, and drizzle with 1 teaspoon olive oil. Repeat with second dough ball and remaining ingredients. The tart may be served warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- Use a food processor to quickly and easily chop the olives.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can finely chop the olives by hand.
- Be sure to drain the olives well before chopping them, or the tartlets will be too oily.
- If you don't have goat cheese, you can substitute another type of soft cheese, such as cream cheese or feta cheese.
- You can add other ingredients to the tartlets, such as chopped sun-dried tomatoes, roasted red peppers, or crumbled bacon.
- Be sure to preheat the oven before baking the tartlets, or they will not cook evenly.
- Keep an eye on the tartlets while they are baking, as they can burn easily.
- Serve the tartlets warm or at room temperature.
Conclusion:
These black olive and goat cheese tartlets are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover goat cheese. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a tasty treat that your friends and family will love.
