A festive - and not only - savory phyllo tart with red onions, soft cheese and thyme. An healthy and tasty appetizer!\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

What is Christmas to you? Is it about family? Is it about gifts? What about the Christmas movies, that hot beverage you crave when you feel cold, the lights around the city? Isn't it all magical?
\nTo me Christmas has ALWAYS been about being with my family<\/strong> around the table of our basement room, eating good food and sipping some quality wine. Laughing, talking, eating...<\/p>\n

\"Are

Can you feel the crispiness? Can you feel the slightly caramelized onions and the soft cheese? Can you feel the nice flavor of the thyme? Best appetizer ever!<\/p><\/div>\n

In these last 26 years of my life, I've been lucky enough to spend every single Christmas with my family, and my mother always took on the responsibility of cooking. One of my favorite food she always makes is a sweet and sour sauce made with sausage, pine nuts, candied citron and other ingredients. It's that one thing you eat once per year because it's a bit \"heavy\", but it's sooooo good.
\nSince my mom was the one in charge, I've never had the chance to cook something for this special day, but I want to share with you some ideas anyway - from appetizers to desserts - they might be useful to those of you who cook.<\/p>\n

So here's the second idea - after last week's velvety potato leek soup<\/strong><\/a> - for your Christmas menu!<\/p>\n

\"Tasty

It's easier if you cut it using a pizza wheel cutter!<\/p><\/div>\n

This savory phyllo tart: the perfect appetizer...<\/h2>\n

This savory phyllo tart is for those of you who were looking for a yummy, nutritious, delicious, healthy appetizer<\/strong> for Christmas dinner\/lunch or New year's eve. Oh, actually, you can make it all year round because onions can be found in every season (duh).<\/p>\n

\"Healthy

You can give the shape you want: you can also make mini savory phyllo tarts!<\/p><\/div>\n

When I had the idea to test this, I had a clear flavor in mind: I wanted to really feel the flavor of the onions in my mouth and I also wanted a slightly caramelized flavor<\/strong> (that's why I added a sprinkle of brown sugar).
\nNot too sweet<\/strong>, though, and not too sour<\/strong> (just a tiny bit of vinegar). I added some creamy cheese - in my case, Italian goat robiola<\/em> - to \"contrast\" the crispiness of the phyllo crust (which by the way, it's SO CRISPY<\/strong>). Final touch: thyme and some red peppercorn. SO so festive!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Make

To make it festive: add a touch of green (thyme) and red (peppercorn)!<\/p><\/div>\n

One important thing:\u00a0give the shape you want<\/strong>! My initial idea was to make a rectangular tart (like this<\/strong><\/a>, to be precise) but I didn't have the mold, so I opted for my round pie pan, a vintage one I bought on Etsy for photography purposes. Another amazing idea is to make mini tarts<\/strong>\u00a0using a muffin tin, the perfect finger food that your guests can eat while standing and talking to each other.
\nGive it a try, and let me know if everyone loved it!<\/p>\n
