Steps:
- For goat's-milk béchamel:
- Melt butter in small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour. Cook 30 seconds, whisking constantly. Whisk in milk and nutmeg. Simmer until sauce thickens and comes to boil, 1 to 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Press plastic wrap onto surface and chill.
- For caramelized onions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Heat chicken fat in large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions; sprinkle with salt. Sauté until onions are light golden, about 14 minutes. Stir in bay leaves and thyme sprig; dot with butter. Place skillet in oven; bake until onions are dark golden, stirring often, about 30 minutes. Transfer onions to bowl; discard bay leaves and thyme sprig. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill.
- For potato crust:
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line large baking sheet with parchment paper. Soak potato slices in large bowl of cold water 15 minutes. Drain well; pat dry.
- Add enough oil to heavy medium skillet to reach depth of 3/4 inch. Place over medium heat; attach deep-fry thermometer and heat oil to 325°F. Working in batches, add potato slices to oil and cook just until softened but not brown, about 2 minutes per batch. Using slotted spoon, transfer potato slices to prepared baking sheet in single layer and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Brush inside of four 4-inch-diameter tart pans with melted butter. Line each pan with overlapping potato slices. Cover bottom of each potato crust with 1/4 of onions; sprinkle with chopped thyme. Spread 1 generous tablespoon béchamel over. Sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon goat cheese.
- Place tarts on small baking sheet. Bake until filling is heated through and potato crust browns, 18 to 20 minutes. Sprinkle each with remaining goat cheese.
- Push up pan bottoms, releasing tarts. Arrange tarts on plates. Spoon Heirloom Tomato Salad alongside and serve.
POTATO, TOMATO AND CHEESE TART
Thinly sliced Yukon Gold potatoes make a wonderful savoury crust in this recipe, filled with layers of melted cheese, and plum tomatoes. For the best flavor, a full-fat Gruyere cheese is blended with reduced fat cheese, To make the dish even lighter, you can use only reduced fat cheese. Serve this dish with a salad of crisp lettuce and slices of crusty Italian bread.
