Yield 4 tarts

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 sheet puff pastry, thawed according to package directions
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups thinly sliced red onion
1/2 cup Mirassou Pinot Noir
6 oz. goat cheese
2 oz. cream cheese
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
Salt and pepper to taste
2 pints fresh figs, sliced (if not in season substitute 1 ripe pear, cored and thinly sliced)
4 oz. balsamic vinegar, reduced to 2 oz.
Fresh thyme leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and spray four (4-inch) fluted nonstick tart pans with nonstick cooking spray. Cut 4 circles of puff pastry 1-inch larger than pans; press onto the bottom and sides of each pan. Heat oil in a medium skillet. Add onions and cook over low heat for about 20 minutes or until very soft and caramelized, stirring frequently. Beat goat cheese, cream cheese, egg yolk and thyme in a small bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy; season to taste with salt and pepper. Place equal amounts of onions in each lined tart pan then spread equal amounts of cheese mixture over onions. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes. Remove tarts from pans and cook for 5 minutes more on a baking sheet. Let cool slightly. To serve, top with fig slices and drizzle with reduced balsamic vinegar as desired. Garnish with thyme leaves.

The crust on this tart was a little dry. I think I would use a different recipe for the crust next time.

This tart is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar in the filling next time.
