Ingredients
  

Filling

  • 2 tsp unsalted butter

  • 1 Vidalia or sweet onion diced finely

  • ½ tsp Kosher Salt
  • ¼ tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 1 Cup Gorgonzola Dolce Blue Cheese, crumbled

Assembly

  • 1 package of Pepperidge Farms phyllo tart shells (1.9 oz)

  • 1 TBS thinly sliced chives

Assembly and Cooking

  • Carefully fill the shells with the filling and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Bake the shells until they begin to lightly brown about 15 minutes.
  • Once cooked, remove from the oven, and place a 1/2 walnut piece on each tartlet.
  • Sprinkle with the chives.

Notes

The Phyllo cups are very fragile and easily broken. Use great care with these are they are very fragile. I suggest keeping them in the original plastic container, filling them, and then placing carefully removing them from the plastic tray and placing them on the cookie sheet.
A small ice cream scoop, about 1.5 TBS, works very well to fill these. Just scoop out the filling, carefully place in the cups and push down very softly.
