Homemade or Store Bought Pastry Crust
How to Make Feta and Caramelized Onion Tarts
Start with rolling out the dough for the crust. I’ve included my homemade crust in the recipe. It’s a tried and true recipe that I love and know works with both savory and sweet pies and tarts. Using 4½ cutter, cut out twelve circles and line 12 sections of a muffin pan with the circles. Add the circles to a 12 section muffin pan and chill while you make the filling. Heat the oil in a lidded frying pan, add the red onions and cook over high heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring often to keep them from sticking to the pan. Lower the heat, cover and cook for 8-10 minutes until soft. Add the balsamic vinegar and brown sugar. Followed by the honey. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the onions are caramelized. Season to taste with salt & pepper if desired and set aside to cool. Put the feta cheese, cream cheese, egg, and half the parsley in a food processor. Blitz until smooth and creamy. Add the onion to the chilled tart crusts with 1 tablespoon of the onion mixture and flatten with the bottom of the spoon. Top with the feta mixture. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the pastry is crisp and the filling is just golden brown and set Sprinkle chopped parsley and serve. Serve warm. Enjoy every last bite.
