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.

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

easy to make with adaptations
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I made this recipe in the regular muffin pan, I used yellow onions, heavy cream and left out the Spice Islands seasoning, and... I sprayed the pan before putting the dough in. People fought over the last on at the Thanksgiving table. It's an easy recipe, great appetizer. Definitly will have to make that one again.Read more

Good but too small for filling
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I just made these and while they are quite tastey and not too difficult I had oodles extra of the liquid filling leftover.... There was no way to pour that in there without it overflowing all over my pan. Maybe it would be better with larger muffin pan so you can get more onion and more cheese etc. I couldn't really taste anything other than the buttery-ness and the seasoning. It was good, I would just have liked the filling to have worked out better.Read more
