Have You Tried an Onion Goat Cheese Tart?

[schel]

Quick question...
Has anyone made the Three Onion Goat Cheese Tart?
How does it taste?
I am making it for a show tonight and tried a small bite of the goat cheese and I hope it tastes better in the whole recipe.
Any suggestions; comments?

I made it this weekend and I LOVE it!! My whole family loved it too.

I will eat darn near anything, but I do not like goat cheese! It has a strong taste to me. The Savory Cheese Crostini calls for half goat cheese and half cream cheese. After trying half and half the first time, I tried all cream cheese the second time and loved them!

I made it but used cream cheese instead of the goat. I found it too sweet though because cream cheese isn't very flavourful and it's kinda sweet. If I were to make it again with cream cheese, I'd add salt - like 1 teaspoon - to enhance the salty/sweet combination.

I like goat cheese, I just didn't have any on hand when I made it!

Well... I just can't serve it if I wont eat it either...so...
I had a small piece of it and YUM!

I didn't have fresh thyme, due to the grocery store was out of it so I used dry and think maybe it was a little too much, but next time maybe a little less or non.

Thats a good thought about the cream cheese. Maybe add a little egg yolk from the egg you need for the egg white part to the cream cheese to make the cream cheese firm up a little like a cream cheese won ton. You know?

Also a lot cheaper than goat cheese. I'll have to give it a try and let everyone know how it turns out.

Thanks for such quick input, I knew I could rely on everyone here!
You all are great.

Herb tip:When a recipe calls for fresh herbs and you can get them. Dry is fine but use 1/2 the amount. Because of the drying process the flavor is enhanced to almost double that of fresh herbs.
As far as goat cheese goes, try it that way. I am not fond of it either but with the onions, bacon and the tyme, it was actually very good.

Yeah, that is a good point. The crostini recipe only had the cheeses plus, garlic and Italian seasoning. Not much to help cover up the flavor there!!
