The theme this week at I Heart Cooking Club is appetizers. Perfect for this time of year, especially if you host parties or want to make festive appies for your dinner.
I saw a photo of Ina Garten's tomato and goat cheese tart and thought - I need this on our table. It's easy to use puff pastry and also easy to assemble. I made a mess in the kitchen but clean as you go and it's no problem!
Thaw the puff pastry and roll out with a rolling pin. Cut a six inch piece using a saucer as a guide. It's just a matter of layering carmelized onions, Parmesan cheese, tomato and basil. Here it is before being popped in the oven.
While I didn't nail it with Ina's presentation I did manage to make it close so that's a win. Check out Ina's photo and recipe HERE.

If only I could find gluten free puff pastry!
ReplyDeleteJackie, not sure if I’ve ever seen gluten free puff pastry. I’ll look next time I shop & let you know the brand if I see any.
DeleteI love goat cheese tarts. Bite-sized sounds good for parties.
ReplyDeletebest... mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Mae. I’m sure smaller portions could be made, you’re correct, perfect for parties. I love most cheeses and goat cheese in particular.
DeleteNice! I would have to sub something for the goat cheese. I had to drink goats milk as a youngster (lactose issues) goat anything and I are no longer friends taste wise...
ReplyDeleteMelynda, same issue I had as a baby. My father had to go to farms in Amish country (PA.) to get me goat milk but I still love the cheeses. I don’t think this recipe would work for you at all so I’d skip it. Now I know you can’t drink wine or eat goat cheese! Cheers!
DeleteI’ve always been drawn to this recipe! Who can resist puff pastry? I love the red and green. It looks so festive and delicious!
ReplyDeleteKim, it wasn’t as difficult as I’d initially thought and I’ll be making it again. Tasty!
DeleteBoy those look delicious. I just got a new cookbook for review that has a whole section on appetizers .. I'd be happy to make them all.
ReplyDeleteBFR, appetizers are certainly fun to make and they can be a meal on their own in some cases. I can’t wait to see a review of the book you just received.
DeleteOh, my... this looks just delicious! I love these flavors. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThank you, JoAnn!
DeleteI never tried goat cheese before but this sure looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteMrs. V, I think this was a great blend. You could certainly another cheese if you weren't a fan though.
DeletePuff pastry with the tomato slices, caramelized onion and gluey cheeses is a great concept. Who wouldn't be happy eating ones of these?
ReplyDeleteThat's what I was thinking! Loved that combo.
DeleteThis looks amazing! I adore carmelized onions and puff pastry! I love goat cheese but am seriously allergic to it so I can't eat it anymore but I could replace it with bleu cheese or something else.
