Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt 2 1/2 tablespoons of butter. Add the sliced onion along with the chopped rosemary. Cook until soft and lightly golden, about 5-6 minutes. Set the mixture aside to cool.
- On a clean work surface, lightly dust with flour and roll out each sheet of puff pastry to about 1/4-inch thickness. Cut out approximately twenty 4-inch circles.
- Arrange ten pastry rounds on the baking sheet and prick them all over with a fork to prevent bubbling. Use the remaining rounds to cut out smaller circles to create rings.
- Brush the base rounds with the beaten egg, and place a ring on each to form raised edges. Chill the pastry shells in the freezer for 15 minutes.
- In a bowl, gently mix the goat cheese with lemon juice, salt, and pepper, maintaining a slightly crumbly texture.
- Spoon a small amount of the onion mixture onto each chilled pastry base, followed by about 1 tablespoon of the goat cheese mixture.
- Layer the apple and pear slices on top of the cheese, slightly overlapping, and sprinkle with chopped walnuts.
- Melt the remaining butter and lightly brush it over the fruit, then sprinkle a pinch of allspice on top.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
- When ready, drizzle the warm tarts with honey and garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.
