These were great! Dinner party guests kept asking for more. I'm not sure if I'll use so much coarse-grain mustard next time, maybe 1.5 teaspoons next time. Great recipe! Thanks for posting.

I really enjoyed this recipe, I omitted the mustard and added some herbes de provence. I was wanting for a little more egg in the tarts, it was rather doughy. I loved the sweetness the carmelized onions added, I also topped mine off with a bit of mozzarella cheese.

Great recipe! So easy to make and so very tasty. The flavours of the mustard and onion go so well in this recipe. They turned out so perfect and so tasty! I have also frozen a batch to see if they freeze well. Thanks Stardustannie I will be making these again!
