RECIPE: REC: Blue Cheesea nd Carmalized-Onion Freeform Tarts

[deb-in-mi]

I made these today - yum!! I adapted a recipe from the Nov. BA which called for making your own dough. I was too lazy. But these worked out great (you can use a sheet of puff pastry instead of the shells)

Blue Cheese and Caramelized-Onion Freeform Tarts

Thawed Puff Pasty Shells

Topping:

2 T. unsalted butter

2 T. olive oil

3 large onions (about 2 lbs.) halved, thinly sliced

1 T. finely chopped fresh rosemary

1 tsp. sugar

½ tsp. salt

1.5 cups (about 6 oz.) crumbled blue cheese

For Topping:

Melt butter with oil in large skillet over high heat Add onions. Cook until onions are soft and beginning to brown, stirring frequently, about 10 minutes. Add rosemary, sugar, and salt. Season onions to tase with pepper. Reduce heat to medium. Continue to cook until onions are soft and dark brown, stirring frequently, about 20 minutes; cool.

Roll out each pastry shell so that it (roughly) doubles in size. Place a portion of caramelized onions on the pastry – leaving a half inch border. Sprinkle blue cheese over onions. Fold puff pastry border over onion mixture. Bake in a 425F oven until golden.

Since I am on a blue cheese kick right now, think I'll make these tomorrow...

I have driven everyone in the house crazy making Ina Garten's potato chips and melting blue cheese with a little cream and putting over them. Think I had them for like 5 or 6 nights in a row straight this week. So this will give me a temporary diversion.
