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.

Loved this the first time
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I really enjoyed this recipe the first time I made it, when it ran in the back of the November 2007 Family Circle magazine. I... wonder how many other of Sandra Lee's Semi-Homemade recipes are only semi-original?? http://www.parents.com/recipe/tarts/onion-tartlets/Read more

Loved by all

My tartlets were not so pretty so I decided to make this as a full sized tart. I brought it to a holiday celebration and it... was a hit. Look forward to making it again.Read more

Appearances may be deceiving.

It tasted better than it looked. They are cute, buttttttttttttttttt not as eye-appetizing. Once I convinced everyone to try... one (please? pretty please?) they kept going in for more! Very semi home-made, fooled everyone with this recipe. I actually had my future mother in law going with "i made the pie crust from scratch" she knows I was only teasing. Good tasting. Needs pizazz or a better garnish Read more

YUMMY!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The liquid ingredients were way off; I wasted eggs, cream, and herbs. Look for gloria in these messages, she has the correct... measurements Spray the muffin pan or you'll never get them out in one piece. They really did taste great though. My brother in law hid some of them so he could snack later. Read more

Not so good
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

We tried these on Thanksgiving and they were a total disaster. I believe the proportions for the recipe were wrong. The... crust got stuck to the bottom of he non stick muffin pans and got burned!Read more
