2 (10-inch) tarts

INGREDIENTS WEIGHT MEASURE
Butter, unsalted 12 oz. -
Cream cheese 6 oz. -
Flour 3 cups -
Salt - 1 tsp.
Butter - 3 Tbsp.
Onions, finely diced 1 lb. 8 oz. Approx. 6 cups
Bilbao chorizo or hot link sausage 12 oz. 3 links
Fresh thyme, chopped - 2 Tbsp.
Salt and Pepper - To taste

DIRECTIONS

  • Prepare dough: In mixer, cream butter until smooth. Blend in cream cheese until smooth. Stir in flour and mix just until incorporated; do not over mix. Knead by hand 1 to 2 minutes until smooth. Divide dough in half; roll out dough to 1⁄2-inch thickness. Press each into bottom and up sides of a 10-inch tart pan with removable bottom. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Heat oven to 350°F. Sauté onion in butter until caramelized, about 8 minutes. Add chorizo and thyme; continue cooking an additional 3 minutes until chorizo is lightly browned. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to metal bowl; cool slightly.
  • Whisk eggs and cream; quickly whisk in onion mixture.
  • Pour half of egg-sausage mixture into each tart shell. Sprinkle parsley over tarts.
  • Bake 30 to 35 minutes until golden, firm to touch, and knife inserted in center comes out clean. Cut each tart into 6 servings. Serve immediately.

*If using frozen or liquid whole egg product.

Note: Do not let uncooked egg mixture remain at room temperature for longer than one hour (including preparation and service time).
