Ingredients
  • 3 packages of 6 frozen puff pastry mini tartlets (available in your grocer's frozen food aisle) or 1 package of frozen puff pastry
  • 1 large 8 oz. soft goat cheese log
  • ½ cup ricotta cheese + 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 package of cherry tomatoes
  • 1 large yellow onion, diced into ½-inch squares
  • 2 cloves of garlic, roughly chopped
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 tsp. Italian seasoning (found in your grocer's spice section)
  • balsamic vinegar, to garnish
  • basil, to garnish
  1. Preheat the oven to 350° F. Defrost the puff pastry.
  2. If using the pre-made tartlets skip this step. If you bought the full puff pastry sheets, spray a mini muffin tin with cooking spray. Cut the sheet into 3-inch rows and then into 3-inch columns. This should give you little squares. Pop them into the muffin tin and refrigerate until ready to put into the oven.
  3. In a small skillet or sauté pan, sauté the onions in 1 Tablespoon of olive oil until translucent. Add in the garlic and Italian seasoning, stir, and continue cooking on low for 5 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Take off heat and allow to cool.
  4. Cut the cherry tomatoes in half. Reserve in a bowl mixed with a large pinch of salt.
  5. In another bowl, mix together the onions, goat cheese, ricotta cheese, and parmesan cheese. Add in 1 teaspoon salt. Mix until a smooth consistency.
  6. Take out the puff pastry tartlets, add in a small spoonful of cheese/onion mixture. Then top with 1/2 of a cherry tomato.
  7. Put in the oven and cook for 15 minutes or until the pastry dough has puffed up and browned lighting.
  8. Optional: drizzle with very small amount of olive oil or balsamic vinegar and top with basil.
