Can I use a different type of cheese?

Absolutely! While goat cheese provides a unique flavor, you can substitute it with feta, ricotta, or even cream cheese if you prefer a milder taste. Each alternative will lend a different texture and flavor profile to your tarts.

How can I store leftover tarts?

You can store leftover tarts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in the oven at 350°F until warmed through, ensuring the pastry remains crispy.

Can I freeze caramelized onion tarts?

Yes! You can freeze unbaked tarts before adding the egg wash. Just cover them tightly with plastic wrap, and they should last for up to a month. When you're ready to bake, you can bake them straight from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.

What dishes pair well with these tarts?

These tarts pair nicely with a fresh salad, a bowl of soup, or even as part of a charcuterie board. Their savory flavor complements light dishes well, making your meal dynamic.

Are these tarts suitable for a vegetarian diet?

Yes, these tarts are vegetarian! They are made primarily with vegetables and cheese, making them perfect for vegetarians and a great choice for gatherings.
