Mini Onion Tarts



Are you planning a tea and looking for ideas on what to serve? Place these tasty tarts among your "savory" items and they will be sure to please.



Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup butter cracker crumbs (Pepperidge Farms has some great ones)
1/3 cups butter
2 cup chopped sweet onion
3/4 cup milk
2 eggs
3/4 tsp. salt
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 tsp. sweet paprika
1 tsp. minced fresh parsley

Combine crumbs and two-thirds of the butter in a bowl and mix well. Press the mixture on the bottom and up the sides of mini muffin tins. Heat remaining butter in a skillet, over medium heat, add onions and saute for 10-12 minutes, until tender and just beginning to carmelize. Divide onions among muffin cups. Now combine milk, eggs, and salt and whisk well. Pour over the onions into muffin cups. Divide the grated cheese between muffin cups and sprinkle with paprika. Bake at 350 degrees, until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from oven and gently remove from muffin tin. Garnish with minced parsley and serve warm.

These can be frozen for later use in a flat tupperware or plastic container.
