Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1 Vidalia onion or other sweet onion, diced, about 3 cups
  • 1 box (15-ounce) refrigerated pie crust (recommended: Pillsbury)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 1/3 cups half-and-half
  • 1 (1.3-ounce) envelope golden onion soup mix (recommended: Lipton)
  • 1 tablespoon fine herbs (recommended: Spice Islands)
  • 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

Melt butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add onions and cook until golden brown. Set aside to cool.

Unroll pie dough 1 at a time. Use a 2 1/2-inch round cutter and cut as many rounds as possible (about 14 to 16), reserving scraps repeat with second pie dough. Gather together scrap dough and cut out as many rounds as needed to make 36 in total. Fit dough rounds into cups of mini muffin pan. Place in the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove and set aside.

In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, half-and-half, golden onion soup mix, and fines herbs. Set aside.

Divide onions among tartlet shells, about 1/2 teaspoon each. Top each with 1/2 teaspoon of cheese. Stir egg mixture and fill tartlets. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes.

    Outrageously delicious! A friend made these and told me how good they were so I decided to give them a try and they are most definitely worth the effort to make. I made a few changes...no fine herbs, swiss cheese instead of jack, and I didn't pre-bake the tart shells. I also sprayed the pans with PAM. Like others, I found that there was quite a bit more cream mixture than I needed.

    I made these one Thanksgiving a few years back just to add something different to the traditional menu. My family LOVED them, including my picky brother. They are now a must have menu item every Thanksgiving. I did substitute pre-made tartlet shells to save time but stuck to the recipe otherwise. They are a light and delicious appetizer.

    READ the REVIEWS to get the correct fluid measurement. I wasted good eggs and half/half. I still had a cup of fluid left over. Also, I will buy premade shells next time if they have it. That's most of the work and they come out looking not so uniform. Tastes great though.
