Provided by Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Time 35m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 large sweet onion
16 medium shiitake mushrooms (about 1 pound)
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon olive oil, divided
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 (4-ounce) package puff pastry, defrosted according to package directions (recommended: Dufour)
3 eggs, divided
8 ounces goat cheese, divided
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Using a mandolin or super-sharp knife, cut onion into paper thin slices. Clean and slice the mushrooms.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium heat; add onion and saute until caramelized. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. Heat remaining teaspoon of oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and saute until they release all their liquid and most of it boils away, should take about 5 minutes. Combine caramelized onions with mushrooms and saute together briefly; season with salt and pepper. Remove the pan from heat.
  • Unfold puff pastry onto a floured surface; cut in half lengthwise to form 2 long rectangles. Gently roll out each rectangle to approximately 5 by 14 inches and place on cookie sheet. Trim edges by 1/4-inch strips all around; set strips aside. Break 1 egg into a small bowl; beat slightly. Brush edges of pastry with some of the egg. Use trimmed strips to make a raised border on each. Brush entire surface with remaining beaten egg. Prick the interior of pastry all over with a fork. Bake until pale gold, about 10 minutes. If pastry has puffed up inside edge, press it down gently. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, combine remaining eggs with 6 ounces goat cheese and blend until smooth. Spread the mixture onto pastry. Return to oven and bake just until set, about 4 minutes. Add the thyme to the mushroom mixture. Remove cookie sheet from oven and spread with thyme-mushroom mixture. Crumble remaining cheese on top. Just before serving, broil tarts on low heat for 2 to 3 minutes, until tarts are warm and cheese softens.

Yield Makes about 32 large or 64 small hors d'oeuvres

Number Of Ingredients 13

For pastry dough
1 1/4 sticks (10 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 to 4 tablespoons ice water
3 onions (about 1 1/2 pounds total)
2 tablespoons olive oil
pie weights or raw rice for weighting shells
10 ounces soft mild goat cheese (about 1 heaping cup), softened
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup sour cream
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

Steps:

  • Make dough:
  • Cut butter into bits and in a bowl with a pastry blender or in a food processor blend or pulse together with flour and salt until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 2 tablespoons ice water and toss with a fork or pulse until incorporated. Add enough remaining ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with fork or pulsing to incorporate, to form a dough. On a work surface smear dough with heel of hand in 3 or 4 forward motions to make dough easier to work with. Divide dough in half and pat each half into a rectangle, about 6 by 3 inches. Chill rectangles, wrapped separately in plastic wrap, at least 1 hour and up to 1 week.
  • Thinly slice onions and in a large skillet cook with salt to taste in oil, covered, over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes, or until softened. Cook onions, uncovered, stirring, until golden and any liquid in skillet is evaporated.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • On a lightly floured surface roll out 1 dough rectangle into a 16 x 6-inch rectangle and fit it into a 13 1/2 x 4 x 1-inch tart pan with a removable fluted rim. Roll a rolling pin over pastry to trim it flush with top of rim and prick bottom of shell in several places with a fork. Make 1 more tart shell in another tart pan in same manner.
  • Line shells with foil and fill with pie weights or raw rice. Bake shells in middle of oven 10 minutes. Carefully remove foil and weights or rice and bake shells until pale golden, about 5 minutes more.
  • While shells are baking, whisk together goat cheese, butter, and sour cream until smooth and whisk in eggs until combined well. Season custard with salt and pepper.
  • Spread onions evenly in shells and pour custard over onions. Sprinkle thyme over custard and bake tarts in middle of oven 20 minutes, or until puffed and golden. Cool tarts in pans on racks (filling will deflate). Tarts may be made 2 days ahead, cooled completely in pans, and chilled, covered, in pans. Reheat tarts in pans, uncovered, in a 350°F. oven about 15 minutes to crisp crusts. Remove rims from pans.
  • Cut tarts crosswise into 3/4-inch-wide slices to make about 32 hors d'oeuvres and, if desired, halve slices crosswise to make about 64 hors d'oeuvres. Serve tarts warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Prep Your Ingredients: Before you start cooking, measure and prep all of your ingredients. This will make the cooking process go much smoother.
  • Use a Good Quality Goat Cheese: The quality of your goat cheese will make a big difference in the flavor of your tarts. Look for a goat cheese that is creamy and has a mild, tangy flavor.
  • Don't Overwork the Pastry: When you're making the pastry, be careful not to overwork it. Overworking the pastry will make it tough.
  • Chill the Pastry: After you've made the pastry, chill it for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will make it easier to work with.
  • Bake the Tarts Until They're Golden Brown: Bake the tarts until the pastry is golden brown and the goat cheese is melted and bubbly.

Conclusion:

These goat cheese and onion tarts are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They're perfect for any occasion, and they're sure to be a hit with your guests.
