Can I make caramelized onion and goat cheese tarts ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can prepare the caramelized onions in advance and store them in the fridge for up to three days. When you’re ready to serve, simply assemble the tarts and bake them. This makes them a perfect choice for entertaining!

What can I serve with these tarts?

The tarts pair perfectly with a light salad or a vegetable platter for a balanced meal. You could also serve them alongside a choice of dips to enhance the flavor experience.

Can I use another type of pastry instead of puff pastry?

Yes, you can use phyllo dough or even a shortcrust pastry if preferred. Each type will yield a different texture, with phyllo offering a more delicate crunch and shortcrust providing a buttery finish.

How do I store any leftovers?

To store leftovers, place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They should be consumed within two days for the best flavor and texture. Reheat in the oven to maintain the pastry's flakiness.

What can I substitute for goat cheese?

If you’re not a fan of goat cheese, feta is a great alternative. Cream cheese can work as well for a milder flavor, or even ricotta for a creamier texture.
