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.

I just watched that show also and I wrote down 1/3 cup of half and half and 1 egg - I think the difference is in the amount... of servings - she only made 24 on the show and this recipe is for 36. Let's hope that is the difference.Read more

A Savory and Different Appetizer - A Standout!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I was invited to Thanksgiving dinner by a doctor's family that keeps a kosher kitchen. He is also an accomplished cook, so I... wanted to contribute a different, impressive appetizer for the occasion. His entire family and other guests loved the onion tartlets and extended an invitation for Thanksgiving dinner every year if I would bring onion tartlets! Read more
