Yield: Makes 30 to 32 tartlets.
 

Ingredients

• 1 to 2 large sweet onions (such as Vidalia), chopped (3 cups)
• 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 1/2 cup water
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 cup milk *
• 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese (4 oz)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper

Cooking Directions

In large skillet, cook and stir onions, brown sugar and oil for 3 minutes.
Add water; cook and stir until onions are tender and golden brown, about 5 minutes.
Cool slightly.

Meanwhile, in medium bowl, stir together eggs, milk, cheese, salt and pepper. Stir in onion mixture; set aside.

Using a 3-inch round cookie cutter, cut pie crusts into rounds. Place in medium muffin cups, shaping to fit bottom and about 1/2 inch up the side of each cup.

Spoon about 2 tablespoons onion mixture into each pie crust cup.

Bake at 375 degrees F for 20 minutes or until knife inserted in center of tartlet comes out clean.

Cool in muffin cups for 5 minutes; remove from pans.

Serve warm or at room temperature. 

* For extra richness, substitute heavy (whipping) cream.

Tailgate Tip: Bake and refrigerate these tarts up to 1 day ahead. Reheat them on a grill at the tailgate party.
