Bacon - Cheddar Cheese Tarts

OMG...one of the best appetizer recipes I've made in a long time. 2 of these tarts are just 66 calories.  And a delicious 66 calories.

Bacon-Cheddar Cheese Tarts
Recipe from WW What to Cook Now?
Serves 12 -16
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 sweet onion, quartered and thinly sliced
  • 1/4 tspsalt
  • 3 slices Canadian bacon, finely chopped
  • 1/4 c fat free egg substitute
  • 2 T fat-free half and half
  • 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/8 tsp pepper
  • 24 frozen mini-phyllo tart shells
  • 1/2 c finely shredded reduced fat sharp cheddar cheese

Heat oil in medium, nonstick over medium heat. Add onion and salt, cover and cook until onion is softened, about 5 minutes.  Uncover and cook, stirring frequently, until onion is golden brown, about 12 minutes.  Transfer to plate. Add bacon to skillet and cook until lightly browned, about 2 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350F. In a small bowl, whisk together egg substitute, half and half, mustard and pepper. Arrange tart shells on baking sheet. Spoon onions evenly into shells. Sprinkle bacon evenly over onions. Pour about 1 tsp egg mixture into each tart. Sprinkle tops evenly with cheese and bake until egg mixture is set, about 15 minutes. Serve warm.

Small confession here - I totally mixed the onions and bacon together in the pan after the bacon was cooked. Then spooned that into the tarts first. Turned out just fine.
