Savory, flaky mini puff pastry tarts filled with sweet caramelized onions, Mezzetta Castelvetrano olives, and tangy goat cheese. A guaranteed hit on your next holiday table!
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 large yellow onions thinly sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry thawed
- 1 egg beaten (for egg wash)
- 4 ounces goat cheese softened, plus more for serving
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/4 cup Sliced Castelvetrano Olives drained
- Fresh thyme leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter with the olive oil. Add onions and a pinch of salt. Cook slowly, stirring often, until deep golden and caramelized, about 25 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Unfold the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut into 2x2-inch squares. Arrange on the prepared baking sheet. Use a knife to lightly score a smaller square inside each piece, without cutting all the way through, to create a border.
- Brush the borders with egg wash.
- In a small bowl, mix the goat cheese with honey until smooth. Spread a small spoonful in the center of each tart.
- Top with a spoonful of caramelized onions and a few Mezzetta Sliced Castelvetrano Olives.
- Transfer to the oven to bake for 15-18 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.
- Sprinkle with crumbled goat cheese, fresh thyme and a pinch of black pepper before serving.
- Enjoy!
