WALNUT TART



Walnut Tart image

Meet the Cook: The first time my husband tried this, he said there ought to be a law against anything tasting so good! I've served it at picnics and family occasions...and even once at a bridal shower. It's fine either as a dessert or for breakfast. We are the parents of three grown children and grandparents of two. -Rovena Wallace, Trafford, Pennsylvania

Butter-flavored cooking spray
18 to 20 wonton wrappers, 2 1/2 inches square
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup julienned red bell pepper
1 cup julienned green bell pepper
1 cup thinly sliced onion
1/2 teaspoon herbes de Provence
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large clove garlic, minced
4 ounces goat cheese
