Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Frozen phyllo tart shells
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 3 ounces Bleu cheese crumbles
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh chives (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the phyllo tart shells on a baking sheet and set them aside.
Peel and thinly slice the yellow onion.
In a medium skillet, heat the unsalted butter over medium heat until melted.
Add the sliced onion to the skillet and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes or until they are soft, golden, and caramelized. Remove from heat and let them cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese and bleu cheese crumbles. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
Add the caramelized onions to the cheese mixture and stir until evenly distributed.
Spoon the cheese and onion mixture evenly into the phyllo tart shells.
Drizzle a small amount of honey over the top of each tart.
Place the tarts on the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the shells are crispy and the filling is warmed through.
Remove the tarts from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped chives, if desired, and serve warm.
