These caramelized onion and goat cheese tartlets are the perfect appetizer or snack. They're easy to make, and they're always a crowd-pleaser. The caramelized onions are sweet and savory, and the goat cheese is creamy and tangy. The tartlets are baked in a phyllo dough shell, which is flaky and crispy. Serve them warm or at room temperature.
I first came up with this recipe when I was looking for a way to use up some leftover caramelized onions. I had made a big batch of them for another dish, and I didn't want them to go to waste. I decided to try them in a tartlet, and they were so good that I knew I had to share the recipe with the world. I've been making these tartlets for years now, and they're always a hit. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or any other occasion where you need a quick and easy appetizer.

Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 medium onions, thinly sliced

Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Brush each sheet with melted butter.
Place a heaping tablespoon of caramelized onions in the center of each sheet.
Top with a dollop of goat cheese, chives, and Parmesan cheese.
