Notes
Salt: Some blue cheeses (especially lesser-quality ones) can be quite salty. So go easy on the salt.
This is just one of my fall savory tarts. Try Gruyere, goat, or white cheddar cheese. Sautéed plums, fig jam, roasted butternut squash, mushrooms, or Cipollini onions all make great fillings.
Puff pastry dough is one option, but it's getting a little pricey these days. Make your own savory pie crust (see my savory heirloom tomato pie recipe) or try bite-sized, pre-made phyllo tartlet shells sold in the freezer section at most grocery stores.
