I want to make these, but didn't see the show when Ina made them. I'm not quite clear on the scoring and pricking with the tines of a fork. Can someone explain to me how this is done, please, in detail!

These were absolutely incredible. I made them for a light dinner for my husband and myself and paired them with a leafy green and herb salad with a balsamic vinegar dressing. I did make one change in that I added some crispy proscuitto that I had sauted. The crunchy saltiness of the proscuitto played quite nicely against the sweetness of the onions and the pungent flavor of the goat cheese. My husband was quite impressed with them as well. Next time I will try these using a 2 1/2 and 2 inch biscuit cutter and make them for appetizers. Way to go Ina!

I made this for my husband and I as a sort of trial run to determine if I would ever serve it to guests. I thought the prep was easy enough though it did take me quite a bit longer than the recipe suggested to get the onions to carmelize a bit. I prepared the tarts ahead of time which made dinner a breeze. I didn't have access to Montrachet or heirloom tomatoes...so frustrating...which may have altered my flavors. I personally thought the thyme was a bit overpowering and the goat cheese was too strong. All in all though they were beautiful and I'd be proud to serve them to guests. I will be interested to try different variations...Boursin instead of goat cheese...and I think I'll reduce some good balsalmic vinegar to drizzle over the tarts when served. As a previous reviewer suggested I think these would be fabulous as deserts with maybe marscapone and pear chutney.

These are amazing! the first thing I thought was, "I made these??" because they taste like they come from a restaurant. I made them exactly like Ina's recipe, except I cheated and found puff pastry pre-made "cups" that are about 3" wide, and they worked wonderfully. To me the onions (get them good and carmelized and the thyme really make this special. Thanks again Ina!

These tarts were a hit with everyone (toddler through grandparents, and the only thing I didn't have on hand was the parchment paper. Easy to make and delicious, I would definitely recommend this!

Delicious and elegant appetizer, it has been a big hit each time we make them. They do turn out to be quite large, so we cut them in half. Made them easier to eat as a finger food for parties. Thanks, Ina!

I made these for my boyfriend and I, and they were absolutely delicious. My boyfriend actually said, "This may be one of the best things I have ever tasted". Try this recipe!

I cheated a bit though and did my own variation. I used store bought garlic naan bread from Trader Joe's and smoked gouda cheese instead. it was so delicious. Wow! I can't wait to make it the way Ina prepares it. I am sure it will rock the house too. I will totlally make this again and again....... I use the garlic naan bread fron TJ"S all of the time to make a quick 10 min pizza with tons of variations. YUUUUUMMMMMMYYYYYYYY!

The onions make this dish! they are so yummy. It was easy to prepare and nobody believed that I could have made them. They tasted "catered" delicious! Ina these are going into my rotation as a staple. The pastry dough worked so beautifully as a crust.
I served them as an appetizer today and I honestly think they would be a great light dinner.
Thanks for the great recipe Ina! I've been eating lots of yours lately and they never disappoint.
