With the machine running, add the water a tablespoon at a time until the dough holds together when squeezed. Gather the dough together and form into a rectangle. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for one half an hour.
- In the mean time, heat the butter and olive oil in a large sauté pan. Add the mushrooms, stir to coat, spread out in the pan and allow to cook, undisturbed for a couple of minutes. Stir once and redistribute, continue cooking in this same manor until mushrooms are golden brown. Remove from pan and set aside.
- Add onions to the same sauté pan; add additional olive oil is necessary. Sauté until caramelized well, season with thyme, salt and pepper.
- Divide pastry in half. Roll each piece of pastry into long strips, about 4 inches by 8 inches. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and crimp the edge of the dough to create a rim. Cover the tart with parchment and fill with beans. Bake 15 minutes, remove the parchment and beans and bake another 5 minutes. Remove and allow to cool.
- Reduce the oven to 350 degrees F.

CARAMELIZED ONION, MUSHROOM AND GOAT CHEESE TART
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Using a mandolin or super-sharp knife, cut onion into paper thin slices. Clean and slice the mushrooms.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium heat; add onion and saute until caramelized. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. Heat remaining teaspoon of oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and saute until they release all their liquid and most of it boils away, should take about 5 minutes. Combine caramelized onions with mushrooms and saute together briefly; season with salt and pepper. Remove the pan from heat.
- Unfold puff pastry onto a floured surface; cut in half lengthwise to form 2 long rectangles. Gently roll out each rectangle to approximately 5 by 14 inches and place on cookie sheet. Trim edges by 1/4-inch strips all around; set strips aside. Break 1 egg into a small bowl; beat slightly. Brush edges of pastry with some of the egg. Use trimmed strips to make a raised border on each. Brush entire surface with remaining beaten egg. Prick the interior of pastry all over with a fork. Bake until pale gold, about 10 minutes. If pastry has puffed up inside edge, press it down gently. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, combine remaining eggs with 6 ounces goat cheese and blend until smooth. Spread the mixture onto pastry. Return to oven and bake just until set, about 4 minutes. Add the thyme to the mushroom mixture. Remove cookie sheet from oven and spread with thyme-mushroom mixture. Crumble remaining cheese on top. Just before serving, broil tarts on low heat for 2 to 3 minutes, until tarts are warm and cheese softens.
BALSAMIC ONION, MUSHROOM & BLUE CHEESE TARTS
These little guys are great to add to appetizer platters for parties and would also be great to pack in a picnic basket. The sticky sweetness of the balsamic onions works well with earthiness of the mushrooms and blue cheese. They are good cold. So, you don't have to worry about cooking them and keeping them warm during your event.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Put a pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter.
- Once the butter starts to froth, put the thinly sliced red onions in and turn the heat down to low.
- Cook, stirring often, until the onions have become translucent. This will take about 10 minutes but keep an eye on them.
- Add the sugar and the balsamic vinegar to the onions and cook on low, stirring often for about 10 minutes until the onion mixture is sticky and the liquid thickened up.
- Set the onions aside to cool.
- Melt the remaining butter in another pan and cook the mushrooms for a few minutes until they have just started to change color.
- Set the mushrooms aside to cool.
- Whilst the onions and mushrooms are cooling, layout your pie dough. You want the dough to be about as thick as a pinkie. If your pre-rolled dough is thicker roll it out to the desired thickness.
- Using a round cookie cutter or a glass, cut out 12 rounds of the dough.
- Press each round of dough into a hole of a 12 yield muffin tin. If your pan usually sticks, spray each hole with cooking spray before hand.
- Next, put the egg and sour cream into a bowl with the salt and pepper and beat together.
- Stir through the dried parsley and crumbled blue cheese. Set aside.
- Spoon a bit of the balsamic onions into the base of each tart.
- Top the onions with the mushrooms, trying to cover as much of the surface as possible.
- Spoon the blue cheese mixture over the top of each tart.
- Put tarts in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes until the pastry has gone golden and the cheese mixture has set.
- Take out of the oven and allow to cool before serving so the cheese mixture can firm up a little bit.

Steps:
- Heat butter and oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add onions and and stir to coat in oil. Grab a glass of wine and a magazine and plop yourself in front of the stove because you are going to be here for a while. You will cook the onions for 60 minutes total, stirring every 4-5 minutes or so. After they've cooked for 10 minutes add a pinch of salt. After they've cooked for 40 minutes add a teaspoon of sugar. After they've finished cooking for 60 minutes and are a gorgeous dark brown color, deglaze the pan with the white wine, season with salt and pepper to taste, then set aside. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Unwrap the puff pastry and cut along the seams of each sheet, creating 6 rectangles total. Lightly flour your work surface and roll each piece into a 3.5″ x 12″ rectangle. Use a 3″ cookie cutter to make four tarts out of each rectangle. Transfer tarts to (2) parchment lined baking sheets. Combine puff pastry scraps into a ball, roll them out to the same thickness as your previous tarts and use the cookie cutter to make 10-12 more tarts. Arrange tarts on the two baking sheets about an inch apart. You will have 30-32 tarts total. Use a 2″ cookie cutter to score each tart in the center, creating a half inch wide crust. Brush the crust portion of the tart with the egg wash. Heat fig jam in a small saucepan over medium heat just until it becomes loose and spreadable. Spread a teaspoon or so of fig jam in the center of each tart. Top that with a teaspoon or so of caramelized onions. And then, you guessed it, top that with a teaspoon or so of blue cheese. Divide thyme evenly between the tarts, sprinkling a few leaves in the center of each tart. Bake tarts for 15-18 minutes or until the crust starts to get dark golden brown Remove tarts from the oven and drizzle with honey. Serve warm and enjoy! NOTES These tarts are also delicious at room temperature!
