Categories     appetizer

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups frozen chopped onions, thawed
1 tablespoon sugar
Kosher salt
4 ounces goat cheese, room temperature
1 large egg
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 teaspoon freshly chopped thyme leaves
1 (14-ounce) box refrigerated pie crust

Steps:

  • In a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat, add the oil and butter. When the butter is melted, add the onions, sugar, and salt, to taste. Cook until the onions begin to brown. Adjust the heat to low and cook slowly, turning often, until the onions are golden brown and caramelized, about 10 to 15 minutes. Remove the onions from the heat and set aside to cool.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • In a bowl combine the goat cheese, egg, cream, and thyme. Pour the mixture into a small resealable plastic food storage bag. Snip off a corner of the bag to use it for piping.
  • Lay the pie crusts out flat on a clean surface and with a 2 1/2-inch round cutter cut out 12 circles from each crust. Press them into the cups of the mini-muffin tin. Fill each cup 1/2 way with the cooled onions. Pipe the cheese mixture on top of the onions, filling the cups. Bake the tarts until the filling is set, about 15 to 20 minutes. Let the tarts cool slightly, and then remove them from the muffin tin and serve.

ROAST SWEET POTATO & ONION TART WITH GOAT'S CHEESE



Roast sweet potato & onion tart with goat's cheese image

Top buttery puff pastry with caramelised onions and melted cheese for a festive buffet or dinner party winner that you can make ahead and freeze

Provided by Justine Pattison

Categories     Buffet, Dinner, Lunch, Starter, Supper

Time 1h40m

Yield Serves 8-12 (makes 2 tarts)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tbsp olive oil
6 medium red onions, finely sliced
5 tbsp red wine vinegar
100g cranberry sauce
1kg sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into small chunks
1 tsp chilli flakes
2 x 320g sheets ready-rolled puff pastry
3 x 100g soft goat's cheese with rind, broken into large chunks
beaten egg, for glazing
thyme sprigs, to serve
a large salad, to serve

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a large non-stick frying pan and cook the onions over a low heat for 20-25 mins or until well softened and lightly browned. Add the vinegar and cranberry sauce, and simmer for 5-10 mins more, stirring until almost all the liquid has disappeared. Leave to cool.
  • Meanwhile, put the sweet potatoes in a bowl and toss with the remaining oil, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper and the chilli flakes. Arrange on a baking tray and cook for 20 mins, turning halfway, until softened and lightly browned. Leave to cool.
  • Reduce oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Line two large baking trays with baking parchment and unroll the pastry sheets on top - trimming the edges neatly at this point will encourage a good rise. Leaving a 2cm gap around the edge, spread the onions over the pastry, then top with the sweet potatoes and goat's cheese. Brush the beaten egg around the border of the pastry and bake in the oven for 35-40 mins or until the pastry is golden and crisp, swapping the shelves after 20 mins.
  • Scatter over the thyme, then cut each tart into quarters (or smaller pieces if serving more). Serve with a large leafy salad.

Tips:

  • For a crispier crust, pre-bake the tart shell for 10-15 minutes before filling it.
  • If you don't have a tart pan, you can use a 9-inch pie plate instead.
  • To make the tart ahead of time, bake it according to the recipe and then let it cool completely. Wrap the tart tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 3 days. When ready to serve, reheat the tart in a 350°F oven for 15-20 minutes, or until warmed through.
  • For a vegetarian version of this tart, omit the bacon.
