Onion and Goat's Cheese Tartlets

01Method

1. 1

   Heat the oven to 190°C.

2. 2

   Using a 6 cm round cutter, stamp out 12 circles from the puff pastry sheets. Press each circle gently into the holes of a 12-hole mini muffin tin to form small cups, leaving enough room for the filling. Cover with cling film and refrigerate or freeze until needed.

3. 3

   Melt the butter with the oil in a frying pan over a low heat. Add both types of sliced onion and cook slowly, stirring often, until soft and caramelised, about 15–20 minutes. Stir in the spring onion and chives, then remove from the heat and leave to cool slightly.

4. 4

   Whisk the egg together with the cream and salt in a bowl. Fold in the cooled onion mixture until well combined. Spoon the filling into the pastry cups, then scatter crumbled goat's cheese over the top. Bake for 20–25 minutes until set and golden. Serve warm.
