Time 20m

Yield Makes 24 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 8

24 walnut halves (about 3/4 cup)
4 teaspoons olive oil
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Coarse salt and ground pepper
24 thin slices whole-wheat baguette, from 1/2 baguette
8 ounces fresh goat cheese
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme, plus leaves for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss nuts with 1 teaspoon oil and cinnamon; season with salt and pepper. Bake until golden, 4 to 6 minutes; set aside to cool.
  • Spread baguette slices on same baking sheet and brush with remaining 3 teaspoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Bake until lightly toasted, 10 to 15 minutes, rotating pan halfway through; set aside to cool.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, stir together cheese and 2 tablespoons water until smooth; stir in cranberries and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Divide goat cheese among bread slices and top each with a walnut and thyme leaves.

Tips:

  • For a smoother filling, blend the goat cheese and cream cheese together until completely smooth before adding the other ingredients.
  • If you don't have a tart pan, you can use a muffin tin. Just fill each muffin cup with about 1/4 cup of the filling and bake for 15-20 minutes.
  • To make the tartlets ahead of time, bake them according to the recipe and then let them cool completely. Store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • When you're ready to serve, top the tartlets with the cranberry sauce and a sprinkle of chopped walnuts.
