These delightful tartlets combine a creamy cheese filling with crispy bacon and caramelized onions, all encased in a buttery crust.
Combine the softened butter and cream cheese in a mixing bowl until smooth.
Ensure the butter and cream cheese are at room temperature for easier mixing.
Gradually add the flour to the mixture and knead until a dough forms.
Do not overwork the dough to maintain a tender crust.
Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Chilling helps the dough firm up, making it easier to shape.
Mix the boursin cheese and milk in a bowl until smooth and creamy.
Use a whisk for a smoother consistency.
Stir in the crispy bacon and caramelized onions into the cheese mixture.
Ensure the bacon is well-drained to avoid excess grease.
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Preheating ensures even cooking.
Divide the dough into small balls and press each into a mini tart tin.
Use your fingers to evenly press the dough into the tins.
Spoon the filling into each prepared crust.
Do not overfill to prevent spillage during baking.
Bake the tartlets in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until the crust is golden and the filling is heated through.
Rotate the tray halfway through baking for even browning.
Allow the tartlets to cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
