　　This savory tart hails from France and features cottage cheese, sour cream, bacon slices, onion, and freshly grated Parmesan. You've never know by looking at it, but it's actually very easy to make and ready in under an hour. 

　　

Ingredients

Makes 36 hors d'oeuvres

　　1 puff pastry sheet (from a 17 1/4-oz package), thawed

　　1/2 cup whole-milk cottage cheese

　　1/4 cup sour cream

　　1/4 teaspoon salt

　　1/4 teaspoon black pepper

　　6 bacon slices (6 oz), cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces

　　1/3 cup packed thinly sliced onion

　　1 tablespoon freshly grated parmesan

　　

Step 1

Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 400°F.

　　

Step 2

Roll out pastry on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin into a 12-inch square, then transfer to a large baking sheet.

　　

Step 3

Blend cottage cheese, sour cream, salt, and pepper in a blender until smooth.

　　

Step 4

Cook bacon in a 10-inch skillet over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until it just begins to brown, about 5 minutes. (Bacon should be tender, not crisp.) Remove from heat.

　　

Step 5

Spread cheese mixture evenly over pastry, leaving a 1-inch border all around. Scatter bacon and onion on top, then sprinkle with parmesan. Bake until pastry is golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Cut into 36 pieces and serve warm.
