Expert Tips

*Liquid smoke is key for the smoky flavor in these breakfast tarts, but they are equally delicious if you choose to omit it.

Loved the filling. Loved the portable way this can be breakfast on the run. Plan on making this for my next treat day at work! Careful with the time I burned mine a little....cooked them for 25 min.

These are so delicious that I can't trust myself around them! I was amazed at how sweet the onion flavor was and how well all of the ingredients blended together. They taste as incredible as they look!

My wife and I stumbled upon this recipe after looking for a way to use up some onions and boy are we pleased! My wife has never really enjoyed onions but since we've married, I have gotten her to explore the possibilities they offer and though she doesn't like raw onions, she has found she likes cooked onions at times. This recipe truly helped her realize the potential onions have and the simplicity is amazing. We truly would like to thank Arlene for allowing us to find a simply spectacular recipe we can both enjoy and further encourage her onion palate.

These are Great! A wonderful breakfast treat, savory onion flavor, and the chives are a nice accent flavor as well. You definitely can't eat just one.
