The best appetizer ever! I made this for a small dinner party and next time I will need to double to amount it was such a hit! It may look like a lot of steps, but it is really easy. The only time consuming part is cooking the onions. I highly recommend this tart for those who want to impress their friends with a tasty and beautiful dish. And I ended up using the left over puff pastry for dessert. I just sprinkled some cinnamon and sugar and the left over squares and served with ice cream.

Fabulous. For Artichoke lovers, substitue very well drained artichoke hearts from an olive oil packed jar for the onions and cut out one cooking step. I also remove the tomato seeds/w/gel so they are not quite so sloppy. You can also use feta cheese. These are so versatile, there is no limit to what you can create. Thanks Ina

They said I had to bake the basil & I said, NO NO NO.
Next time will sub for the goat cheese and use cherry tomatoes. Bake 25 minutes as the center needs to be crispy.

Wonderful & flavorful. I made four large & several smaller tarts with the remaining puff pastry. I read the comment about this recipe being heavy and here are a few thoughts as to why that might happen. One the onions - you have to do this right and that means being patient. The onions could look like a mushy mesh if not done correctly with too much liquid or by over crowding a the pan. Loosely cover the puff pastry with the onions, also too much goat cheese can cause this to get "heavy." Have a light hand with this and I think it will always turn out great. The flavors together are fabulous!

These are amazing - I've made them for years in different renditions and are a go-to easy but impressive dinner option. Equally good in summer or winter, these are a great way to do a fancy feeling dinner that is essentially pizza on store bought puff pastry crust. Just to clarify - cut TWO CIRCLES FROM A SHEET (the box of puff pastry comes with TWO sheets, making FOUR total tarts if you want to use both sheets and thus serve four people. You could make them smaller of course if you wanted but this is the way that Ina intended them sized, and they make quite a good dinner with a side salad. If they come out "heavy" you are doing something wrong.

Four to a sheet, yes-- I have made this twice in a week! Maybe it was the all-butter puff pastry... or the beautiful heirloom tomatoes I used... or the goat cheese... but this was SO EASY and SOOOO delicious that I invited friends over again just so I could make it! I substituted leeks today because I am making a dinner with plenty of onions-- and I think you could use wild mushrooms instead of tomato for a delicious alternative... Generally I'm not a big Ina fan because of the high-cal, low-nutrient counts of her recipes, but this is a perfect appetizer or luncheon dish. Absolutely delicious. (Served it last week for a midnight dinner with friends who had just arrived at the airport-- DELICIOUS!!!
