Salt
Freshly ground black pepper

3 eggs, divided

2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves

Steps:

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:

  • To ensure the pastry dough is flaky and crispy, use very cold butter and work it into the flour mixture quickly. Avoid overworking the dough, as this can make it tough.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can make the pastry dough by hand. Simply combine the flour, salt, and butter in a large bowl and use your fingers to work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs. Then, add the ice water one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together.
  • For the filling, use a soft, spreadable goat cheese. If your goat cheese is too firm, you can soften it by microwaving it for a few seconds or by letting it come to room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Be sure to caramelize the onions until they are golden brown and slightly sweet. This will add a delicious flavor to the pastries.
  • If you want a vegetarian version of these pastries, you can omit the bacon. You can also use a different type of cheese, such as feta or cheddar.
  • These pastries can be served warm or at room temperature. They are also great for freezing. To freeze the pastries, simply place them in an airtight container and freeze for up to 2 months. When you're ready to serve, thaw the pastries overnight in the refrigerator or at room temperature for 1 hour.

    Conclusion:

    These goat cheese onion pastries are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they are also great for freezing. With their flaky crust, creamy goat cheese filling, and caramelized onions, these pastries are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
