Caramelized Onion Tartlets
Read my review of this recipe.
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 pounds sweet onions, about 6 cups, chopped
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup hot water
- 1 tablespoon beef bouillon granules
- 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Swiss cheese
- 40 mini phyllo shells
Directions:
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add onions and sugar. Cook over medium heat for 30 minutes or until the onions are golden brown, stirring frequently. Stir in water and bouillon. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 10 to 15 minutes or until liquid has evaporated. Remove from the heat; stir in cheese.
Place phyllo shells on a baking sheet. Spoon about 1 tablespoon onion mixture into each shell. Bake at 375° for 5 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.

Substitutions:
The filling can be made a day ahead and refrigerated until needed. These can also be served at room temperature. If you are serving them immediately, there is no need to bake them. Just thaw the shells and fill with the hot filling. If they will be sitting for more than an hour, they tend to get a little soft though so baking helps keep the shells crisp.
