BLACKBERRY PUFF PASTRY TARTS
This simple yet delicious recipe is certain to please anyone with a sweet tooth. You can use either puff pastry sheets or shells for this recipe. If you use sheets, put the filling in before you cook the pastry, and then cook them all the way in one go. These are equally good warm or cooled, but I advise against reheating them in the microwave or refrigerating them.

PUFF-PASTRY TARTS WITH STONE FRUITS AND FRANGIPANE
You can make smaller tarts with extra puff-pastry dough after cutting: Use two or three pieces of stone fruit and bake about 20 minutes. The leftover frangipane, or almond mixture, is a great addition to French-toast batter.

PUFF PASTRY TARTS
Macerating the fruit in a bit of sugar and acid (strawberries and balsamic vinegar are natural allies) helps draw out their natural juices and makes an ideal filling for pastry shells.

- Preheat oven to 425°F. Roll out puff pastry on a lightly floured surface into a long rectangle. Cut in half crosswise (halves should be almost square).

Steps:
- Defrost the puff pastry in the refrigerator for two hours or for one hour on the counter.
- Prep the vegetables: slice the zucchini and the squash into thin slices and set them aside on paper towels to absorb the extra moisture. Slice the onion into thin rings and set them aside. Slice the tomato thinly and place on paper towels, topped with another layer of paper towels to ensure that most of the moisture is absorbed. When ready to use, slice each tomato slice into quarters.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line two sheet pans with parchment paper.
- Gently unfold the puff pastry from its package. Sprinkle some flour on a work surface and place a sheet of the puff pastry over the flour. Sprinkle additional flour on top. Using an inverted bowl, cut each sheet of puff pastry into 2 rounds, about 5"-6" (from the remaining puff pastry of each sheet, I also cut out two smaller rectangles). Place the pastry rounds on the prepared sheet pans and refrigerate while you work on the filling.
- Heat a large skillet to medium hot. Add some olive oil to coat and, once heated, add the onions, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and sauté until soft and light brown. Remove the onions from the skillet and set aside.
- To the same heated skillet, add the zucchini slices, season with salt and pepper and sauté on both sides until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside. Repeat this process with the yellow squash, making sure not to overcrowd the skillet. Once done, remove from the skillet and let them cool.
- Remove the puff pastry from the refrigerator and, using a sharp pairing knife, score a border around each round. Prick the area inside the border with a small fork to prevent the inside part from puffing up too much. Top each round with the onion, then the Feta cheese, and the slices of the vegetables in an overlapping pattern. Sprinkle the tops with some oregano and a drizzle of olive oil, then bake on the middle rack for about 25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown. Allow the tarts to cool slightly on the pan before removing. Sprinkle with some flaky sea salt and serve warm or at room temperature.

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!
